201st Annual Meeting of the New York Academy of Sciences

The New York Academy of Sciences is pleased to invite our Members to the Academy's 201st Annual Meeting and Welcome Reception.

Join fellow Members, Academy Staff, and some special guests for a by-invitation-only screening of Jim Allison: Breakthrough (2019), the inspirational story of one scientist's quest to find a cure for cancer. Today, Academy Member James P. Allison is well-known for receiving the 2018 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine jointly with Japanese immunologist Tasuku Honjo for their discovery of cancer therapies that stimulate the immune system to attack tumor cells. This gripping documentary follows Dr. Allison's life and work over several decades, and provides insight into what it means to struggle against skepticism and resistance in order to achieve the extraordinary. A Q&A session with Bill Haney, the film's director, will follow the screening.

The program will conclude with the annual "State of the Academy" address, delivered by our President and CEO Ellis Rubinstein, followed by an opportunity to network and socialize with fellow Members at the New Member Welcome Reception.

The Academy's Annual Meeting and one-hour reception to follow are free for all current Academy Members, however, registration is required to attend. Membership expired? Visit your Dashboard to rejoin prior to registering!
