Testimonials
The following testimonials were provided by former GRS Chairs and participants. We invite you to share your personal stories about your experience at a Gordon Research Seminar. If you would like to share this information with us, please contact Rebecca Newman.
"I love to attend the Bioinorganic GRS. There is a spirit of adventure that is not common in GRCs involving only senior investigators. Lots of new ideas are generated in the talks and discussions, and I have come away feeling that all is well in metallobiochemistry. I also have recruited some great post docs at the GRS. I can highly recommend these conferences to young and old alike!"
Dr. Harry B. Gray, California Institute of Technology
- Chair of Gordon Research Conferences Board of Trustees, 1999-2000
- Member of Gordon Research Conferences Board of Trustees, 1995-2001
- Chair of 1982 Metals in Biology Gordon Research Conference
- Regular attendee, monitor, and reviewer of several GRC events per year, including the Bioinorganic Chemistry Gordon Research Seminar
"The GRS meetings provide a fantastic mechanism to bring up and coming young scientists together with the leaders in their field. I greatly enjoyed having the opportunity to meet and talk with the graduate students and post docs at the Macromolecular Materials GRS. Networking is extremely important in science, as in other fields. The feedback on both the GRS and the GRC from the participants was extremely positive, and their contributions to the discussion sessions were outstanding. The GRS experience gave them the confidence to actively participate in the GRC discussions, something young scientists are often hesitant to do."
