10th International Conference on the Biogeochemistry of Trace Elements, Chihuahua, Chih., Mexico, July 13–16, 2009

  May 18, 2009. TO:  Colleagues and Friends of the ICOBTE. FROM: Ma. Teresa Alarcon, Gary Pierzynski, and Domy Adriano

It appears the issues with the H1N1 Flu are subsiding somewhat.  For example, as of this morning, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) in the US has removed its recommendation that US travelers avoid travel to Mexico.  Please see: http://wwwn.cdc.gov/travel/content/travel-health-precaution/novel-h1n1-flu-mexico.aspx

The warming weather in the northern hemisphere will surely help further minimize the threat from this flu.  We realize that some of you may still have travel restrictions in place from your governments or institutions, but are hopeful that all such restrictions will be removed soon.  We are confident that the conference will go on as originally scheduled (14-16 July 2009). The immediate challenge is to determine how many people will attend so that we can plan accordingly. To that end, we ask that, if at all possible, you register for the conference before June 1 so that we can get a better estimate of the number of people who will attend.  Registration will remain open after June 1 for those of you who still need additional time.

We are looking forward to a very successful conference and hope to see many of you in Chihuahua this July. As always, please let us know if you have any questions or concerns. Best  wishes, Ma. Teresa, Gary, and Domy. http://icobte2009.cimav.edu.mx

 

 The International Society for Fluoride Research Inc. is an independent non-profit organization which promotes the sharing of scientific information on all aspects of inorganic and organic fluorides by hosting international conferences and the publication of a quarterly open access journal Fluoride which does not carry advertising. Its financial support comes primarily from the sale of hard copies of Fluoride. It is not involved with the sale or disposal of products containing fluoride and has no financial links to industries involved in those activities.
