One of the challenges in organising a meeting of this nature is how to maximize participation from the target audience in different universities and institutes. Using the information on the sign up sheet on the June 11 meet (likely a subset of total participation) we plotted the participation as a function of distance of instituition from location of meet. Considering only the large instituitions with comparable number of post-docs in life-sciences(unverfied), it would seem that participation falls off roughly exponentially with commute distance. If true, ideas will be necessary to make commute distance a less important factor. Have a suggestion? Let us know!
