Dear Lepidopterists et al.,

You are receiving this email because you attended the Arthropod  
Genomics Conference, are registered with the LepGen or ButterflyBase  
mailing lists, attended the Crete Lepidoptera Workshop in 2006, or  
are otherwise known as lepidopteran researchers. Apologies for any  
duplicate emails or to those who are not interested. We will not send  
any further emails unless you sign-up for LepGen (see below). Please  
distribute this to colleagues who might be interested.

In order to make communication about common issues more effective,  
LepGen (a Lepidoptera genetics and genomics listserv managed by  
Marian Goldsmith) and ButterflyBase (a Lepidoptera genome database  
curated by Alexie Papanicolaou) are preparing a community registry.  
The first purpose is to populate LepGen with as many interested  
parties as possible. The second purpose is to create a searchable  
online database of all laboratories working with Lepidoptera in order  
to facilitate collaborations, exchange of ideas, and strengthen our  
community.

Naturally, membership is open to any laboratory, regardless of  
whether or not their primary research is on moths and butterflies or  
other organisms.

If you have 10-15 minutes to spare please go to http:// 
butterflybase.org/community/lepgen_registry.php to fill out this very  
short survey. During the survey, you can also opt to register with  
LepGen, which will continue to serve as the main mode of  
communication among our group.

If you are not registered with LepGen, completing it as soon as  
possible will make sure you don't miss any important announcements.

Many thanks!

If in some smothering dreams, you too could pace
behnind the wagon that we flung him in,
and watch the white eyes writhing in his face,
his hanging face, like a devil's sick of sin;
If you could hear, at every jolt, the blood
come gargling from the froth-corrupted lungs,
bitter as the cud
of vile, incurable sores on innocent tongues,
My friend, you would not tell with such high zest
to children ardent for some desperate glory,
the old Lie: Dulce et decorum est
pro patria mori.
	- Wilferd Owen, 1918
