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

关于催乳素激素的戈登研究会议将于1992年2月3日至7日在加州奥克斯纳德的Casa Sirena Marina酒店举行。该会议自1980年以来每两年举行一次，吸引了110-130名与会者。这些人包括研究生、博士后研究员，以及来自美国和国外的学术、政府和工业科学家，他们对激素的各个方面有着共同的兴趣。自泌乳素戈登会议开始以来，大约有一半的参与者参加了每一次会议。包括特邀演讲人和讨论负责人在内的与会者预计将在为期5天的会议中停留。由于泌乳素独特的进化方面及其许多生物学功能，该会议引起了来自不同学科的广泛科学家的兴趣。根据戈登研究会议的悠久传统，重点是介绍最近未发表的观察结果，然后是长时间的探索性讨论。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性。没有其他科学会议能履行这一职能。会议由8个科学会议、2-3个海报会议、一个宴会演讲、一个商务会议、几个有共同兴趣的团体的非正式会议和2-3个社交功能组成。

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 In accordance with the long tradition of the Gordon Research Conferences, the emphasis is on presentation of recent, unpublished observations, followed by long and probing discussions.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.
