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.
