Welcome to Labstracts (the online newsletter for ABLE)! This newsletter includes information about past and future ABLE meetings and dates of other related conferences. Labstracts informs you of what ABLE members experience and take away from ABLE meetings - particularily the workshops. Labstracts also includes reports from board members and great articles that cover anything from TA training to tested laboratory exercises to ABLE field trips. Think about joining ABLE and presenting one of your labs that you are excited about. We would love to have you join us!

Articles for future submission can be sent to me at bstegenga@bio.unc.edu.

Please enjoy!
