Conference: 2023 Developmental Biology GRC and GRS Developmental Origin of Form and Function

戈登研究研讨会和会议（GRS和GRC）上发育生物学将于2023年6月24日至25日和25日至30日分别在马萨诸塞州南哈德利山霍利奥克学院举行。会议将汇集不同职业阶段和身份的科学家，讨论和推进发育生物学领域的科学前沿。GRS是在GRC之前举行的针对实习生的小型会议，为研究生和博士后提供了一个平台，在一个高度激励和非恐吓的环境中公开讨论他们的研究和想法；这种环境为早期职业科学家提供的机会导致了长期合作，并丰富了他们的科学经验，为他们一生的科学成功铺平了道路。GRS/GRC将举办邀请演讲者和从提交的摘要中选出的演讲者的演讲，海报会议和下午的自由时间，以促进非正式讨论和互动。GRS和GRC都要求平台演讲者和海报展示者讨论未发表的作品，确保与会者彼此分享新鲜的想法，创新和最新的研究-从而使新兴技术和概念无缝结合，从而推动科学的快速发展。会议将包括一个关于女性在科学领域面临的挑战的权力小时讨论，以及餐桌上关于如何应对科学中的冒名顶替综合症、COVID-19对科学传播的影响等主题的讨论，从而为讨论科学研究和责任的各个方面提供空间。了解一个有机体是如何构建的，并协调其机械设计与生理功能，需要跨学科的研究，跨越不同的领域和有机体。为此，会议将邀请来自不同学科的演讲者，如胚胎学、生物化学、遗传学、计算生物学、物理学、数学和工程学，以及利用各种无脊椎动物和脊椎动物以及植物进行研究。主题将涵盖发育生物学的各个方面，如发育中的代谢通量、跨代遗传、基因调控、信号动力学、再生、组织力学和发育疾病。GRS将特别关注使用新技术和技术在不同时空尺度上研究发展的定量方法。各种方法的快速发展和应用要求具有不同专业知识的领导者之间进行持续的沟通和思想交流。重要的是，GRS和GRC还将包括专门解决妇女在科学中面临的障碍和处理科学中的冒名顶替综合症的重要部分。这将为如何帮助改善科学界提供深思熟虑的讨论和产生想法的机会。GRS和GRC将为此提供一个平台，并将有助于加速进展和推进对发展过程的机械询问。该奖项反映了美国国家科学基金会的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的知识价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。

The Gordon Research Seminar and Conference (GRS and GRC) on Developmental Biology will be held from June 24-25 and 25-30, 2023, respectively at Mount Holyoke College, South Hadley, Massachusetts. The conference will bring together scientists across various career stages and identities to discuss and advance the frontiers of science in the field of developmental biology. GRS is a trainee specific mini meeting held immediately before the GRC and provides a platform for graduate students and postdoctoral fellows to network and openly discuss their research and ideas in a highly stimulating and non-intimidating environment; the opportunities from this setting for early career scientists leads to long term collaborations and enriches their scientific experience paving the way for a lifetime of scientific success. The GRS/GRC will host talks from invited speakers and speakers chosen from submitted abstracts, poster sessions and afternoon free time to facilitate informal discussions and interactions. Both GRS and GRC requires platform speakers and poster presenters to discuss unpublished work ensuring that the attendees share fresh ideas, innovations, and the latest research with each other – thus enabling seamless incorporation of new and emerging technologies and concepts empowering rapid forward movement of science. The meeting will include a power hour discussion on challenges women face in science and dinner table discussions on topics such as dealing with impostor syndrome in science, impact of COVID-19 on scientific communication, and more thus providing space to discuss various facets of scientific research and responsibility. Understanding how an organism is built and coordinates its mechanical design with physiological functions requires interdisciplinary research spanning across diverse fields and organisms. To this end, the meeting will feature speakers from varied disciplines such as embryology, biochemistry, genetics, computational biology, physics, mathematics and engineering, and research using various invertebrate and vertebrate organisms as well as plants. Topics will cover various aspects of developmental biology such as metabolic fluxes in development, transgenerational inheritance, gene regulation, dynamics of signalling, regeneration, tissue mechanics and developmental diseases. The GRS will especially focus on quantitative approaches to studying development at different spatial-temporal scales using new techniques and technologies. Rapid advances and application of varied range of approaches requires consistent communication and exchange of ideas across leaders with diverse expertise. Importantly, the GRS and GRC will also include important sections devoted to addressing barriers women face in science and dealing with imposter syndrome in science. This will provide opportunities for thoughtful discussion and idea generation for ways to help better the scientific community. GRS and GRC will provide a platform for just that and will help accelerate progress and advance the mechanistic interrogation of developmental processes.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.
