I will be attending the upcoming annual meeting of the
American Society for Tropical Medicine and Hygiene (November 18-22, Washington DC) along with colleagues Erin Engelson,
Fred Buckner, and Wes Van Voorhis. I will present the poster "Linking anti-Plasmodium compounds to their protein targets
via high-throughput enzyme activity assays" (a collaboration between our lab and a GNF
group led by Kelli Kuhen) on Thursday the 19th.
Phil Rodenbough, our lab technician specializing in enzyme activity assays,
is leaving for the Peace Corps at the end of this month, so we need to replace him. The job is listed as Req # 54790 at
http://www.washington.edu/admin/hr/jobs/apl/.
Questions are welcome.
Today I gave a short talk at a meeting
of scientists and businessmen from Washington and Queensland, which is Washington's
"sister state" in Australia. The talk -- an overview of work in the Van Voorhis lab -- was called
Drug Discovery for Neglected Tropical Diseases.

UW is currently soliciting entries for its
Pocketmedia Film Festival.
With the help of several colleagues and their children, I have made a
short video for this
festival. It is sort of about our malaria research.
