Dear colleagues,

We trust that you are all keeping well. This short newsletter is intended primarily as a reminder that registration for the 13th International Hibernation Symposium is now open. Registration forms (online, Word or PDF) are available in the conference website (www.ihs2008.com) and can be accessed via the "Registration" option near the top of the navigation bar.

We would also like to remind you that the deadline for manuscript submissions, 31 October 2007, is not far off. We are in the process of developing an online manuscript submission and review system, which will become active towards the middle of October. On a related topic, we have been alerted to an error in the EndNote style file that was originally posted on the "Author submissions" page of the website. It has been replaced with a corrected version.

We look forward to seeing you in Namibia next year.

Regards,

Andrew and Barry
