[cgfc-discuss] 7th annual BioDevastation conference in STL

[Sehvilla Mann]

   The 7th annual BioDevastation conference (see the website, www.biodev.org) 
is going to be held in St. Louis this year! Weekend of May 16-18. Notable 
speakers and organizers this year include Vandana Shiva, Micheal Hansen of the 
Consumers Union, Ignacio Chapela, one of the researchers at Berkeley whose 
study of GM maize contamination was recently published in the journal Nature, 
and many others.  

   BioDev hasn't come through the midwest in a while; I've never been before. 
I'd really like to go to this one! I definitely plan to bring a minidisc 
recorder with me and get some audio for the IMC. If no other opportunities 
present themselves I'll probably Greyhound it there. But, maybe someone out 
there is interested in going with me? As inexpensive lodging is available in 
St. Louis, the only big hurdle to overcome is how to get from-point-a-to-point-
b while actually in the city. (For that a car might even come in handy). 

  I expect the conference to be highly rewarding. Let me know...
