What is ZebraMeet?
ZebraMeet is a monthly gathering of Ohio State researchers who use the zebrafish model in their research program. We meet to hear about the latest work of our colleagues, share our breakthroughs, brainstorm ideas, and discuss big zebrafish community issues. Our meetings are open to all our OSU colleagues. Please contact Pooja Gangras or Thomas Delomas if you would like to be on the ZebraMeet email list.
When and where do we meet?
We meet once a month, on Mondays at 4 pm in the CAPS conference room in Rightmire Hall (west campus).
