This award will support a conference at Pomona College on April 25, 1998. This conference will focus on two themes: "Is computing bringing teaching and research closer together in the life sciences?" and "What infrastructure needs are arising from the increased use of computing in the life sciences?" In the morning, a series of twenty minute talks on the first topic will be followed by a general discussion. A break featuring a box lunch will provide opportunities for informal interactions by the participants. In the afternoon, a series of twenty minute talks relating to the second theme will be presented, followed by a general discussion of the second theme. Dinner will feature a talk by a prominent educator/researcher in life sciences who uses computing. All interested faculty from educational institutions in the Los Angeles area will be invited, via flyers and letters to the department chair in biology. Institutions invited will include the Claremont Colleges (Pomona, Harvey Mudd, Claremont McKenna, Pitzer, Scripps), Occidental College, Whittier College, University of Redlands, UCLA, USC, UCR, UCI, CSU San Bernardino, CSU Northridge, CSULA, Pasadena City College, and others.

这笔奖金将用于支持1998年4月25日在波莫纳学院举行的一次会议。这次会议将集中讨论两个主题：“计算机是否使生命科学的教学和研究更加紧密？”和“生命科学中越来越多地使用计算机会产生什么样的基础设施需求？”上午，将对第一个主题进行一系列20分钟的演讲，然后是一般性讨论。休息时间提供盒饭，为参与者提供非正式互动的机会。下午，将举行一系列与第二个主题有关的20分钟的演讲，然后是对第二个主题的一般性讨论。晚宴将由一位使用计算机的生命科学领域的杰出教育家/研究员进行演讲。所有来自洛杉矶地区教育机构的感兴趣的教师都将通过传单和信件被邀请到生物系的系主任那里。受邀的院校包括克莱蒙特学院（波莫纳、哈维马德、克莱蒙特麦肯纳、皮策、斯克里普斯）、西方学院、惠蒂尔学院、雷德兰兹大学、加州大学洛杉矶分校、南加州大学、加州大学洛杉矶分校、加州大学圣伯纳迪诺分校、加州州立大学北岭分校、加州州立大学苏拉分校、帕萨迪纳城市学院等。
