Conference: 2004 Summer/Fall Gordon Research Conferences, to be held June- August 2004

戈登研究会议于20世纪20年代末由尼尔·e·戈登博士发起，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们聚在一起，用整整一周的时间对各自领域的最先进方面进行激烈的讨论和研究。这些会议通常在远离其他干扰的孤立的新英格兰小镇举行，参加会议的有研究生、博士后研究员、初级研究人员和高级科学家，并提供了传播信息和思想的宝贵手段。该奖项代表了对2004年夏季举行的17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 seventeen conferences in the biological sciences, being held in the summer of 2004.
