    Updated Announcement
    Seventh International Bone Fluid Flow Workshop:
    Translational Bone Fluid Flow
    Tuesday/Wednesday September 20-21, 2005
    City University of New York Graduate Center
    365 Fifth Avenue
    New York, NY

    Description
    The Seventh International Bone Fluid Flow Workshop will focus on the
    role of fluid flow in bone physiology and its translation to clinical
    practice. Topics include bone tissue engineering, cellular and
    molecular response to bone fluid flow, and imaging and experimental
    approaches to study and measure bone fluid flow. The presentation
    program will include invited 30-minute lectures and selected
    10-minute oral presentations of submitted abstracts, ample time for
    discussion, a poster session, and social functions to promote
    informal scientific interaction. A major aim of this workshop is to
    provide an informal atmosphere to foster discussion and the exchange
    of new ideas, theories, techniques, and collaborations among an
    expected 50 to 80 participants.

    The Workshop will begin on Tuesday evening with a wine-and-cheese
    get-together at a Brooklyn location with an impressive view of the
    East River and lower Manhattan and conclude with an all-day
    presentation session on Wednesday at the City University of New York
    Graduate Center (for directions, go to
    http://bonenet.net/cunyGC.html).

    At the conclusion of the Wednesday presentation session, participants
    are encouraged to join our "restaurant caravan." Dr. Jonathan
    Kaufman, CEO and President of CyberLogic, Inc., has kindly agreed to
    consult with participants about their dining choices and, if
    requested, arrange small groups who will be guided to diverse New
    York restaurants by native New Yorkers. As everyone will cover the
    cost of their own dinner, the restaurants chosen will include both
    reasonably priced as well as highly rated ones-all with good food.

    Student Abstract Submission
    Students wishing to present original research related to the theme of
    the Workshop may submit abstracts until the program is full. New
    ideas and new directions in the study of the relationship between
    bone fluid flow and mechanosensation in bone are especially welcome.
    Abstract format: one 8-1/2 x 11-inch page, with a minimum of one-inch
    margins on all sides; include title, author(s), affiliation(s),
    Introduction, Methods, Results, Discussion. Figures (optional) must
    be in jpeg format. An abstract template can be downloaded at
    http://bonenet.net/2005%20Workshop%20abstract.doc. Submit completed
    abstracts to scowin@earthlink.net. Accepted abstracts will be
    published in a program book exactly as submitted.

    Student Travel Support
    Limited travel support is available for student attendees from funds
    provided by OrthoLogic, the Whitaker Foundation, and the National
    Science Foundation. Interested students should send a request to
    Steve Cowin at scowin@earthlink.net. Include an estimate of travel
    and housing costs, name of the student's mentor, the academic program
    in which the student is enrolled, and the number of years the student
    has been affiliated with that program. Inclusion of a few sentences
    about the student's interest in bone fluid flow would be appreciated.
    It is anticipated that most if not all requests will be granted, but
    as there are limited funds we must honor requests on first-come,
    first-served basis.
