  • Communicating Biochemistry: Meetings and Events
    © The Authors. Volume compilation © 2011 Portland Press Limited Chapter 3 Communicating Biochemistry: Meetings and Events Ian Dransfield and Brian Beechey Scientific conferences organized by the Biochemical Society represent a key facet of activity throughout the Society’s history and remain central to the present mission of promoting the advancement of molecular biosciences. Importantly, scientific conferences are an important means of communicating research findings, establishing collaborations and, critically, a means of cementing the community of biochemical scientists together. However, in the past 25 years, we have seen major changes to the way in which science is communicated and also in the way that scientists interact and establish collabo- rations. For example, the ability to show videos, “fly through” molecular structures or show time-lapse or real-time movies of molecular events within cells has had a very positive impact on conveying difficult concepts in presentations. However, increased pressures on researchers to obtain/maintain funding can mean that there is a general reluctance to present novel, unpublished data. In addition, the development of email and electronic access to scientific journals has dramatically altered the potential for communi- cation and accessibility of information, perhaps reducing the necessity of attending meetings to make new contacts and to hear exciting new science. The Biochemical Society has responded to these challenges by progressive development of the meetings format to better match the

Transmission of a signal from a hormone or drug to produce some cellular function. Signals are generally detected by receptor proteins present on the cell surface. Cell surface receptors discriminate the signals and channel these to specific cellular effectors to produce a function.

Heineken Foundation and the Alfred Heineken Fondsen Foundation award four prizes – a cash gift of 150.000 USD and a cristal symbol – for outstanding contributions to the sciences and one prize for the performing arts to a Dutch artist (50.000 EUR). The selection of the winners for the Heineken Prizes has been entrusted to the Royal Netherlands Academy of Arts and Sciences. The Academy’s Arts and Sciences Divisions have appointed special committees to carry out this task. The jury of the Dr A.H. Heineken Prize for Art consist of three members of the Academy complemented by experts in the particular artistic field. The Academy also organized the Heineken Lectures 2002. The five laureates were asked to give a lecture about their work for a broad audi- ence at universities across the country.This is the unique publication of those five very diverse lectures given by the prizewinners, every one of them excellent in his or her own discipline.

Michael remembered: “It was remarkable to come and work with essentially the father of insect physiology. It was tremendously inspiring to work with someone like that.” It was when working on the salivary glands of flies that he soon realized he would need new tech- niques to progress further. The problem that inter- ested Michael was how a hormone made a cell secrete saliva. “We all need to respond to our environment and that process begins at a cellular level. A signal reaches the surface of a cell, but how does that makes Sir Michael and Robin reminiscing The first to be released is that of Professor Sir Michael Berridge who spoke to Professor Robin Irvine about his ‘eureka moment’ in calcium signalling and his passion for trying to find the solution to interesting problems. Michael Berridge and Robin Irvine are old friends and, coming from com- pletely different fields of science, they changed our understanding of cell sig- nalling.
