2002 Summer Gordon Conferences, being held in the summer of 2002 through the spring of 2003

戈登研究会议由尼尔·E·戈登博士于20世纪20年代末由S博士发起，旨在促进生物、化学和物理科学研究前沿的讨论和思想的自由交流。具有共同专业兴趣的科学家齐聚一堂，对他们所在领域的最先进方面进行了整整一周的激烈讨论和审查。这些会议通常在远离其他干扰的与世隔绝的新英格兰小镇举行，研究生、博士后研究员、初级研究人员和资深科学家参加，为传播信息和想法提供了宝贵的手段。该奖项是对2002年夏季至2003年春季举行的13次生物科学会议的全部或部分支持。

The Gordon Research Conferences, initiated in the late 1920's by Dr. Neil E. Gordon, promote discussions and the free exchange of ideas at the research frontiers of the biological, chemical and physical sciences. Scientists with common professional interests come together for a full week of intense discussion and examination of the most advanced aspects of their field. These Conferences, which are usually held in small isolated New England towns away from other distractions, are attended by graduate students, postdoctoral fellows, junior investigators and senior scientists, and provide a valuable means of disseminating information and ideas. This award represents full or partial support of thirteen conferences in the biological sciences, being held in the summer of 2002 through the spring of 2003.
