As we are trying to plan for next years GMOD meeting, we would like to decide between two venues as soon as possible. To help us decide, we've put together a simple survey. We are asking your help in deciding between:

San Diego, California in January before or after the Plant and Animal Genomes meeting
Cambridge, England in April before or after the International Society of Biocurators meeting.

Each option has its upsides: the Plant and Animal Genomes is a large meeting attended by several members of the GMOD community, so it would likely have a fairly high attendance.

Enter your video for screening at Evolution 2012 and you may win $$ to attend the meeting of your choice. Deadline July 29
