We will meet in the lobby of the Ohio University Inn at 4pm, and then will carpool to Stroud's Run State Park.

Special Event: Music Concert - Reel Bop Band
Monday 7:00 - 8:00 pm

Join the crowd at a special exclusive concert for the GLBIO 2011 Conference attendees. Reel Bop - a powerhouse quartet of acoustic guitar, mandolin, fiddle and bass - takes on the string-pickers challenge of speed and finesse in a variety of musical styles. They bring interpretations to jazz, bluegrass and traditional tunes. Join Zeke Hutchison, Dean Inboden, Paul Brown and Nick Weiland for a stomping good time.

The Great Lakes Bioinformatics Conference will be hosted by Ohio University in Athens, Ohio on May 2-4, 2011.
