SDB President's Message: Why Meetings Matter
Victoria Prince
President, Society for Developmental Biology
Several weeks on, I am still enjoying a feeling of post-meeting
energization generated by participating in the Joint SDB-PASEDB Meeting
in Vancouver. This was an outstanding meeting where a great deal of
excellent science was presented, but it was largely the reconvening with
like-minded colleagues that made me such a happy scientist. Here I
want to share a few thoughts on why that is: why (in my opinion)
meetings matter.
