NewsEtc., July, 1998. Steven Jacques, Oregon Medical Laser Center
The young and old in the field of Biomedical Lasers and Optics met for the biennial Gordon Research Conference in Medicine and Biology. This group first met in 1965 assembling many of the early investigators who were working to develop medical uses of lasers and light in medicine. Every other year the group has gathered to compare notes on emerging applications and unresolved basic science issues. The meeting is confidential which allows unpublished work to be presented for a preview of cutting-edge projects under development.
Morning and evening sessions are held and the afternoons are free for basketball, soccer, canoeing, hiking, fishing, etc. The robust late-night session from 10-12 PM is a free-for-all of discussion and argumentative fun lubricated by beer. The 5-day conference is held at a high school level boarding school (Kimball Union Academy, New Hampshire), attendees stay in the dorms and all meals are provided as part of registration. The GRC is a great opportunity for graduate students and post-docs to talk at length with the investigators in our field, and vice versa for investigators to learn from the brightest young people entering our field. The meeting is highly recommended.
The rules of the conference are that EVERYTHING IS CONFIDENTIAL, NOTHING IS CITABLE, and there are NO PHOTOS ALLOWED. So I can't tell you about all the fascinating topics and discussions at this year's meeting, both the lectures and the poster sessions. But the schedule of speakers was published on the WEB at the GRC website and is here reproduced to partially archive the topics covered by the meeting.
