Newswise — The American Society for Cell Biology has opened its "Free Online 'Working Press' Registration" at www.ascb.org for science journalists interested in covering its 44th Annual Meeting, Dec. 4-8, 2004, in Washington, DC.
The largest and most influential yearly gathering of research cell biologists in the world, the ASCB Annual Meeting returns to the East Coast for the first time since 2001 to fill the new Washington DC Convention Center with seven major symposia on everything from the "Cell Biology of Aging" to the "Modeling of Complex Cellular Behaviors," 32 "mini-symposia" on virtually everything else, 1300 posters, a dazzling exhibit hall, and 7,000 cell biologists, from Nobel laureates to grad students, from around the world.
For science journalists, the ASCB meeting is an unrivaled opportunity for breaking news plus the chance to hear (and interview) the world's top researchers reporting from the frontiers of bioscience. Science writers, editors and news producers should sign up online through the no-obligation "Working Press" registration page at www.ascb.org to receive a free copy of "Cell Biology 2004," the ASCB annual meeting press book which will be released on November 1st. Annual Meeting "Working Press" credentials will give you free access to all public sessions and the "ASCB Newsroom" where you will find workspace, ISP connections and other press-friendly services.
Online "Working Press" registration will continue through Nov. 13 after which information will be posted for walk-up Press registration at the meeting. Press registration is for Working Press only and the ASCB definition of Working Press is linked to the registration form. The 2004 Annual Meeting's scientific program is now available in pdf format at http://www.ascb.org/meetings/am2004/pdfs/program.pdf.
