Friday
dictyNews Newsletter
http://dictybase.org/newsletter/
Send two abstracts or more in any week. If there's no abstract, no newsletter.
If there's one abstract, no newsletter in the first week, but send it
in the second week no matter if there are additional abstracts. So
there is maximum a two week wait (this is usually Petra's task).
Send dictyNews in plain text to dicty@listserv.it.northwestern.edu, and add the newsletter to the dictyBase archive.
See example of newsletter dictyNews.v29V3
