Gordon Conferences in Biology, Summer 2001 to Winter 2002.

每年夏天都会举行戈登研究会议，讨论各种科学领域的最新发现和当前的思考。虽然参与人数有限，但与会者通常由知名科学家、在这些领域做出重要贡献的年轻研究人员、博士后研究员和研究生组成。会议通常在远离其他干扰的新英格兰与世隔绝的小镇举行，有利于思想的自由交流。这些会议在介绍研究方面的最新进展以及指出可能最有成效的研究方面的未来趋势方面具有公认的价值。该奖项代表对2001年夏季至2002年春季期间举行的21次生物科学会议的全部或部分支持。

The Gordon Research Conferences on a number of scientific topics, are held every summer to discuss recent findings and current thinking in various areas of science. Although participation is limited, the attendees usually consist of established scientists, young investigators who are making important contributions in these areas, postdoctoral fellows and graduate students. The meetings are usually held in small isolated New England towns away from other distractions, and are conducive to the free exchange of ideas. These conferences have a recognized value for presenting the latest advances in research and also for indicating the future trends in research which are likely to be most productive. This award represents full or partial support of 21 conferences in the biological sciences being held in the summer of 2001 through the spring of 2002.
