	Dear Madam, Sir, This is your last chance to register and submit an abstract for the SB@NL2014 systems biology symposium, which will be held in Maastricht on 2014 December 15-16. The deadline is set at the end of the forthcoming Monday, 2014 November 24. You won’t regret to participate in two exhilarating symposium days packed with numerous front-line presentations, all set against the background of the laid-back city of Maastricht. Come and enjoy by joining your colleagues! The fourth Musketeer, d'Artagnan, stands as a sentinel just outside our building to guard the site of our meeting. Also, film shots of the somewhat popular TV-series ‘Flikken Maastricht’ were taken recently in the corridor just outside our meeting hall. ..........................................................................................................
