Zusammenfassung: The five-year cycle of one-day annual meetings organized by Genopole® and the IFRIS intend to deal seriously with the question of science/society co-evolution by inviting a few of the world's leading specialists in the field of science, technology and society to debate on the last decade's developments with politicians, journalists, associations and research managers as well as life scientists.

Although public opinion now appears to have a major influence on science policies, there is no obvious reason why this should necessarily be the case. The idea behind this first colloquium organized on the 28th of September at the College de France in Paris, is to work on the notion of "public opinion" by using illustrative case studies: the public opinion that comes out of opinion polls, public opinion in the blogosphere, concerned groups, militant groups, etc.

Zusammenfassung: The conference aims at young scientists from different life science disciplines. We would like to bring people from all disciplines together to discuss the newest achievements in the field of microbial communication.

Microorganisms interact and communicate with their environment in various ways. With regards to this complexity of interactions we structure the conference in five broader parts tackling the interaction of microoganisms with other microorganisms, humans, higher organisms (e.g., plants, insects, etc.), environment; and the use of bioinformatics and physics in developing methods and models for the analysis of microbial communication.

Zusammenfassung: The Exciting Biologies meetings explore topics that identify an emerging intersection between disciplines where fruitful interactions can result in a cross-pollination of ideas, leading to new ways of thinking and creative approaches to solving difficult questions. Cell Press, Massachusetts General Hospital and Fondation IPSEN are pleased to announce the fourth meeting in this continuing series, this year’s focus being the Biology of Recognition. We will begin by discussing how cells recognize their environmental context and determine an appropriate response. Other topics will include key concepts in recognition such as distinguishing self from non-self, recognition events that trigger avoidance or inaction, and what happens when recognition mechanisms break down.Our goal is to stimulate interactions among scientists working on various aspects of cellular and molecular recognition and the outcomes associated with these mechanisms and to find common themes among the questions being studied.

Zusammenfassung: Understanding the mechanisms allowing brains to collect sensory input and control adaptive behaviour represents one of the most challenging endeavours in science. The goal of this symposium is to review progress towards an integrated understanding of the genetic, molecular, and neuronal basis of behaviour in the fruit fly, Drosophila melanogaster. We will examine how our knowledge about biological neural processes can influence (and be influenced by) the design of robotic neural systems. Our aim is to bring together researchers from the Drosophila and insect community with experts in computational neurobiology and robotics. We will promote discussion on how to quantitatively describe working hypotheses about brain functions and behavioural control, and how bio-inspired robots may be used to test the validity and limits of our current models.

Zusammenfassung: In der medizinischen mikrobiologischen Diagnostik hat sich in den letzten Jahren viel getan. Die Mikrobiologie soll für den Kliniker schneller werden- nur wie kann man dies verwirklichen? Hat die klassische Mikrobiologie ihre Bedeutung verloren? Ist sie abgelöst worden durch molekularbiologische Verfahren – oder haben beide Methoden in der heutigen Zeit nebeneinander ihre Bedeutung und Wichtigkeit in Diagnostik und Therapie von Infektionskrankheiten?

Zusammenfassung: We are pleased to announce our next Science and Society conference on 5-6 November 2010 at the European Molecular Biology Laboratory (EMBL) in Heidelberg, Germany. This well-established conference series brings together a wide range of scientists, philosophers, science communicators, policy makers, and members of the public in engaging debate.

In total, four sessions with keynote talks and panel discussions are planned for the two days at the 2010 conference. The first day will be set aside for presenting and discussing questions relevant to the evolution of sexual reproduction, as well as to the development of sex specific traits. For this purpose we are inviting leading scientists to present their field of research, including their own work, to a mixed audience of scientists and non-scientists. Talks in each session will be followed by panel discussions around questions relating to the difference between the sexes from various perspectives.

In the first session of the second day at the meeting the attention will turn to comparative research on sex differences in brain and behavior of various species. Finally, in the fourth and the last session of the conference we will reexamine the relationship between innate versus acquired sexual characteristics in humans, and attempt to assess some familiar questions of differences between the sexes in the light of new knowledge emerging from the life sciences in recent years. As with the past EMBL/EMBO Science and Society conferences, our overall aim is to promote a constructive dialogue between a wide range of professionals and members of the public.

Zusammenfassung: Cooperation occurs throughout the biological world, and similar mechanisms and patterns of cooperative organization appear across the hierarchies of biological structures: Genes organize into genomes, cells into multicellular organisms, organisms into institutions and societies, and species into ecologies. Might there be important analogies between mechanisms at one such level of organization and mechanisms at a different level? Cooperation benefits a society, while evolution selects at the level of individuals. Despite insights into the mathematics of selection in the presence of cooperation, many aspects of the development of cooperation remain mysterious in practice. What is an individual? Is individuality discrete or continuous? Can selection act simultaneously on multiple scales? How did cells abandon reproduction to a specialized germ line? How did stable multicellularity evolve in the face of noncooperative advantages? When does stable cooperation require enforcement? Can the fitness functions of evolutionary theory capture an individual's transfer of fitness to a collective? Are individuals the correct fundamental units of cooperative systems? The intra-cellular cooperation of genes, molecular machines, and organelles resembles a microscopic city; does the heterogeneity of the conventional units of biology reflect an ancient cooperation predating the origin of life? Is an ecosystem composed of individuals, or is an individual composed of ecosystems? Can the evolution of cooperation inform engineering or economic regulation? This workshop will investigate these subtle and provocative issues, which are often ignored or misunderstood. Talks will cover subjects ranging from cooperation inside of cells, bacterial biofilms, social insect colonies, human institutions and societies, cancer etiology and progression to the question of how single cells subsumed their fitness in favor of multi-cellular collectives.

Zusammenfassung: The main objective of the Global Conference on Entomology is to showcase advances in entomological research and development in the insect world. The skills and knowledge of entomologists are needed worldwide helping farmers to produce crops and livestock more efficiently through sound pest management strategies, fighting to save endangered species and fragile ecosystems, and preventing insects from spreading agents that cause serious diseases.

Insects provide a readily accessible resource for you to use in developing a better scientific understanding of the world around you. For more than 350 million years, insects have evolved and adapted to become the creatures we know today. Through the millennia, insects have become an essential part of every terrestrial and freshwater ecosystem. They are the most numerous and diverse form of life on Earth. About one million species are known, and it is estimated that 10 million are undiscovered. The study of insects helps us increase the bounty of the land and preserve its natural beauty. It also helps us understand how to protect lives and property from harmful insects. Food shortages still exist in many parts of the world. About 40 percent of the world’s food production is lost to insect pests each year. Sound entomological research and extension programs are at the forefront of the sciences involving these important problems. Although reducing vast insect-caused losses will not automatically solve the hunger problems – other economic and cultural factors are important too – entomology is a central part of the solution. Vast areas of the world are dominated by insects that transmit parasites that cause yellow fever, river blindness, Chagas disease, and sleeping sickness. Malaria, plague, and tick-borne fevers are diseases of worldwide importance, and entomologists lead the way in research to combat these ailments. Entomologists are seeking new, less expensive ways to prevent these losses.

The scheduled conference organized by the Century Foundation, Bangalore in association with other organizations will provide a scientific platform to exchange the information on the recent advances in entomological research and to bring together the International scientific community involved in the study of insects.
