The meeting will be held in Grace Auditorium at Cold Spring Harbor commencing 1:45 pm on Sunday, October 22, and finish Tuesday after dinner, with departures the following morning, October 25, after breakfast.

For these unique meetings, we invite speakers who made many of the seminal discoveries that began the field, as well as those who are working on the topic now.  We also invite historians of science who have examined the topic, setting it in its scientific and societal context.  Like the previous meetings in the series, this meeting will provide an excellent opportunity to look in-depth at a topic and share the stories that are often missing from academic accounts.

We anticipate the meeting will interest a broad range of individuals, including scientists, clinicians, historians, activists, and science journalists.
