Gordon Conference on Prolactin, Oxnard, CA, February 3-7, 1992

关于荷尔蒙催乳素的戈登研究会议将于1992年2月3-7日在加利福尼亚州奥克斯纳德的Casa Sirena Marina酒店举行。自1980年以来，这一会议每两年举行一次，吸引了110-130名与会者。这些人包括来自美国和国外的研究生、博士后研究员和学术、政府和工业科学家，他们对激素的各个方面都有共同的兴趣。大约一半的参与者参加了自会议开始以来的每一次催乳素戈登会议。与会者，包括被邀请的发言者和讨论领袖，预计将在整个五天的时间里留在会议上。由于催乳素独特的进化方面以及它的许多生物学功能，这次会议引起了来自不同学科的广泛科学家的兴趣。按照戈登研究会议的悠久传统，会议的重点是介绍最近未发表的观察结果，然后是漫长而深入的讨论。这种形式促进了来自不同学科和地理位置的科学家之间的互动，并使该领域保持进步和可行。没有其他的科学会议可以实现这一功能。大会由8个科学会议、2-3个海报会议、1个宴会演讲者、1个商业会议、几个共同兴趣团体的非正式会议和2-3个社会职能组成。

A Gordon Research Conference on the hormone Prolactin will be held in Casa Sirena Marina Hotel, Oxnard, California on February 3-7, 1992. This conference has been ongoing every two years since 1980, and has been drawing an audience of 110-130 participants. These include graduate students, postdoctoral fellows, and academic, government and industrial scientist form the USA and abroad who share a common interest in the various aspects of the hormone. About half of the participants has attended every Prolactin Gordon Conference since it inception. The participants including the invited speakers and discussion leaders, are expected to stay in the meeting for the entire five days duration. Because of the unique evolutionary aspects of prolactin an its many biological functions, the conference is of interest to an broad range of scientists, from a variety of disciplines. In accordance with the long tradition of the Gordon Research Conferences, the emphasis is on presentation of recent, unpublished observations, followed by long and probing discussions. Such a format fosters interactions between scientists from different disciplines and geographical locations and enables the field to remain progressive and viable. There is no other scientific meeting which fulfills this function. The conference is consisted of eight scientific sessions, 2-3 poster sessions, a banquet speaker, a business session, several informal meetings of groups with common interests and 2-3 social functions.
