The Dyason Lecture was given by Robert Olby (Ilkly, UK and research professor at the University of Pittsburgh), author of numerous works in the history of genetics, whose visit to Australia was sponsored by the British Council. Reflecting on the 50 years since the publication of Watson and Crick’s paper describing the structure of DNA as a double helix, Olby explored the factors that helped to convert a scientific event into a widely celebrated milestone. He questioned whether some aspects of the work on DNA warranted celebration, and the extent to which the celebration of the double helix was becoming a political event, showcasing “successful” British science. A final feature of A2HPS3 conferences is their strong support for graduate student work, and accordingly eleven Langham bursaries were awarded to assist students to attend the conference to make presentations. The joint winners of the Ian Langham Prize for best student paper were Katrina Dean Right: “Figural Vocabularies of Gender in Nineteenth-Century (HPS, University of Cambridge) and Suman Seth (History, Science” participants: Front row, from left to right: Jonathan Smith, Princeton University).

(joint meeting with PSA) The 2003 seminar will build on the Dibner 2000 seminar, “Putting 7-10 November 2002 humans into ecology.” The question of how to put humans into ecology is a pressing issue for scientists and policy makers, one Cambridge, MA that urgently needs historical perspective. What do we know from 20-23 November 2003 the past that can inform that discussion? And how have assumptions and conclusions changed over time? The issues raised in the 2000 seminar remain unresolved, though substantial progress was made Austin, TX in thinking about how to analyze them productively. Therefore, the (joint meeting with PSA) 2003 seminar will build on that foundation to advance our 18-21 November 2004 understanding of how and why humans should be integrated into ecological analyses. Minneapolis, MN Humans are an integral part of Earth’s ecosystems, yet the (co-located meeting with SHOT) science of ecology tends to place humans external to the biological system, and largely lacks a theoretical and conceptual framework 3-6 November 2005 for incorporating humans. Where exactly do humans fit into modern ecological theory? Getting humans into ecological theory requires Vancouver, BC joining the social and natural sciences, and some ecologists and (joint meeting with PSA) social scientists are thinking about how this might be done. Examining 2-5 November 2006 various cases will provide substance for appreciating the complex theoretical and practical challenges.

Of the 13 temporary positions filled, 10 men (83% of respondents. Also, two candidates placed geographic restrictions posts for which the gender of the successful candidate was recorded) on their job searches. In comments regarding the job search, one and 2 women (17%) received jobs.
