A portion of the funds obtained from the National Science Foundation and
U.S. Department of Agriculture to support this Gordon Conference are
earmarked to help defray meeting expenses for promising young scientists
(senior graduate students, postdocs, and equivalent, new faculty members,
etc). To be considered for an award, which will be made on the basis of
merit and need, send a copy of your CV to Mike Thomashow at the above address.
