It is a great pleasure to announce THE NEXT BIENNIAL MEETING of the
INTERNATIONAL SOCIETY FOR HISTORY, PHILOSOPHY, AND SOCIAL STUDIES OF
BIOLOGY.  The meeting will take place at Quinnipiac University in Hamden
Connecticut (about five miles from New Haven and thirty-five miles from
Hartford).  The site is excellent, providing us the opportunity to work
together in comfort and a pleasant setting.  The local organizers at
Quinnipiac, led by Kathy Cooke and David Valone, are very supportive in
ensuring that our needs are met.  Quinnipiac has ideal campus facilities for
us to work and meet informally.  The university can be accessed reasonably
easily from major international airports, but since the meeting is not until
next summer, we will supply the necessary details in due season.  THE
MEETING IS SCHDEULED FOR JULY 18-22, 2001.  Those dates were chosen to be
compatible with attendance at BOTH the International Congress of History of
Science (in Mexico City, July 8-14) and the ISHPSSB meeting.  If you have
specific questions about local arrangements, please address them to David
Valone or Kathy Cooke (email: [log in to unmask] or kathy.cooke@
quinnipiac.edu; regular mail to Kathy at the Department of History,
Quinnipiac University, Hamden CT 06518, USA; tel. 203-287-3475, fax
203-287-3471).  PLEASE MARK THESE DATES ON YOUR CALENDARS AND PLAN TO
ATTEND!

We will shortly be sending out a call for papers for the meeting.  In case
it does not reach you, the best contact is Douglas Allchin,

President-Elect and chair of the site selection committee, for further
information.  She can be reached at [log in to unmask] or Department of
