Abstract
The 21st Annual Meeting of the Society of Complex Carbohydrates, organized by Carl Hellerqvist, Vanderbilt Univ. Sch. of Med., was held in Nashville, TN, Nov. 11-14, 1992. The meeting was divided into eight scientific sessions, using a format patterned after the International Glycoconjugate meeting in Toronto, 1991. To the delight of many participants, there were no concurrent sessions. Regrettably, there was no provision for coffee break between sessions and there was no allocation of specific poster viewing time.
There were over 350 participants, including many young “glyco-scientists” who were aided by the 22 travel fellowships of $300 each issued by the Society to help students and postdoctorals attend the meeting. This is an excellent policy which should be maintained. The abstracts of this meeting were printed by Oxford University Press as a part of the October, 1992, issue of Glycobiology.
