CCB Fall Workshop on Biological Timing

Friday, November 8, 2013

15th Floor, Village West, Building 1, UCSD

This year we added a new component to our workshop, we utilized our new website designed for the California Circadian Consortium. To access the site, add your ideas and profile go to: http://c3.ucsd.edu, use your ucsd email address, and create a password. The ideas you added helped guide the collaborative discussions in session IV.  If you do not have a ucsd email address and wish to create a profile, please contact Pattie Magallanez.
