Conference: 2003 Summer Gordon Conferences, to be held June-August of 2003

戈登研究会议，在20世纪20年代后期发起的博士尼尔E。戈登，促进讨论和思想的自由交流，在生物，化学和物理科学的研究前沿。 具有共同专业兴趣的科学家聚集在一起，进行为期一周的激烈讨论和对各自领域最先进方面的检查。 这些会议通常在远离其他干扰的孤立的新英格兰小城镇举行，由研究生、博士后研究员、初级研究人员和高级科学家参加，并提供了传播信息和思想的宝贵手段。 该奖项代表了对2003年夏季举行的14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 fourteen conferences in the biological sciences, being held in the summer of 2003.
