Dear Academy Members and Friends:
With just a few events left in the NYAS spring 2008 season, it's time to begin looking forward to our fall conferences.
The season kicks off on September 19, when the Academy hosts a comprehensive exploration of hypothermia. Long considered a threat to survival, hypothermia is increasingly being recognized as a powerful new tool in medicine and biology. This interdisciplinary meeting will look at current clinical applications of hypothermia in neurocritical intensive care units, cardiac surgery, and animal experiments. Researchers will consider what specific biological benefits accrue from turning the brain off with cold, how temperature regulation affects the elderly, how cold regulates biology, and how the human species evolved to adapt to cold. Click here to see a preliminary program and take advantage of early bird registration rates.
Go to our conferences home page to learn more about all of our upcoming major conferences, including the 6th International Cancer Vaccine Symposium, a two-day conference in Barcelona on the interdisciplinary field of social neuroscience, and a Boston meeting of the Oligonucleotide Therapeutics Society. To learn more about the OTS conference, click on the link to see a video interview with OTS Vice-President Arthur Krieg.
The NYAS programs team will be working hard over the summer to plan more exciting events for this fall. Watch www.nyas.org/events for all of the latest information.
