[Pheno-atlas] [Uc_atlas_group] draft agenda for Chicagoland workshop Feb 11 at UIUC

[Joakim Olsson]

Hi all, 

This sounds very exciting. I would like to join, just responded to the Doodle. 

Cheers,
Joakim

I will drive from the UChicago campus in case anyone would like to travel with me at that time. I have not yet determined my return trip plans and so any passengers with me should plan to return with the group for the moment.
