THIRD INTERNATIONAL SYMPOSIUM OF CHRONOBIOLOGY AND CHRONOMEDICINE
(3rd ISCC) Kunming, China, Oct. 7-12, 1998

Dear Colleagues:

On behalf of the Organizing Committee of the 3rd ISCC, I welcome you to Kunming and invite your participation in the 3rd ISCC to be held at Kunming, Yunnan, China, on October 7-12, 1998.

The theme of this symposium is "Recent advances in chronobiology and chronomedicine in the world". We are proud of the contributions to chronobiology by scientists in our part of the world. I am convinced that we cannot possibly succeed in our task unless you come to present your own work, and join in the discussions on problems that we face as scientists in this region.

A document issued by the Sichuan Provincial Foreign Affairs Office, which will help you obtain a visa to China, will be mailed by this office.

I am confident that you will find the scientific program stimulating.

I look forward to meeting you in October 1998.
