These meetings bring together multiple generations of scientists and historians to present and discuss major developments in the biological sciences. The proceedings are filmed and placed on a dedicated website maintained by the CSHL Archives to serve as documentary material for historians, scientists, journalists, teachers, and students.
Like its predecessors, the meeting we are planning will provide a unique opportunity to examine the development of the field of cancer genetics in depth, to share the personal stories that are often missing from reports published in scientific journals, and to discuss the consequences and future prospects for this field of science.
We have applied for funds from industry and other sponsors to partially offset registration costs for some attendees. Please apply in writing via email to Kelley McGrath and state your financial needs.
