Dear Colleague
...The opportunity to report on a conference of central importance to
science and society...
I write to bring to your attention a conference organised by EMBL (European
Molecular Biology Laboratory, Heidelberg) and EMBO (European Molecular
Biology Organization, Heidelberg) to take place from 10 - 12 November, 2000
in Heidelberg. "Science and Society; Developing a New Dialogue", will
bring together the practioners of science, the communicators, commentators
and policy makers. The invited speakers (including Carl Djerassi and
Sydney Brenner) are a mixture of scientists, journalists, social
scientists; specialists in fields such as human genetics and medicine, risk
assessment, public perception of science, communication of science (and
science writing), philosophy of science and science policy. The conference
is open to the public.
It is highly desirable that the audience is also broadly representative of
the groups that share an interest in recent development at the interface of
life sciences and the public. With this in mind, I would like to extend an
invitation to you or your members to visit the website to find out more,
and, should you or they wish, to register for attendance
(http://www.embl-heidelberg.de/Conferences/SciSoc00/). The conference is
guaranteed to produce lively debate, and, as such, will provide highly
interesting material on which to report. Indeed, it is our hope that
science journalists and writers will take the opportunity to communicate
that meeting in their respective media. If applicable, I would,
accordingly, be most grateful if you could inform your members.
Yours sincerely
Dr Andrew Moore
(Scientific Administrator, EMBO, and co-organiser of the Science and
Society conference)
