We at the MORL hope that all of you have weathered the last three months healthy and safe.  Life looks very different at the lab right now with social distancing requiring some lab techs to come in very early and others coming in late and working past dinner time.  We even have a few that are working weekends now.

But enough about us, I know you all are wondering about the 15th C3G/DDD Family Conference in October.  With no clear end in sight of COVID19 and acting with caution for the health of our attendees and staff, we have decided to switch from having everyone join us in Iowa City to an online, day-long event.

While we in Iowa City will miss seeing all our "old" friends and meeting new ones, we know that this is the best choice to keep everyone safe, while still being able to update the group on the latest in research, drug trials, and more.  We have just made this decision and started canceling local reservations, but plans are already in the works to make this a very exciting and different conference.

With taking away the limitations of travel and having to take days off work, we are hoping more of you will be able to log in and learn.   Keep an eye on your email for more information on how to register for this online conference.

We have canceled the room block at the Graduate Iowa City. If you already had a reservation, you should have gotten a call letting you know the reservation has been canceled.  If you have not, please contact me and I will assist in confirming your cancellation at the Graduate Iowa City.

All the best and stay healthy,
