Second International

At the first International Meeting on Radio-Aids to Marine Navigation held in London in May 1946 some 105 delegates of twenty-three maritime nations met to discuss and witness demonstrations of some of the remarkable advances made in radio-navigation during the war and to consider the progress made in relation to their peacetime uses for marine transport.At the invitation of the U.S. government a second meeting was held a year later, in New York and New London, to show the progress made in America, to illustrate, with demonstrations, the U.S. policy and to pave the way to international standardisation. The U.K. delegation was led by Sir Robert Watson-Watt.

Second International

I first met Severo Ochoa in 1952 in Paris, at the second International Congress of Biochemistry. He was then 47 years old, tall and handsome; he looked like a Spanish Hidalgo, with deep brown eyes and a shock of white hair. He was giving an impressive, didactic and clear lecture, at the Sorbonne, on CO 2 fixation during substrate oxidation, showing beautiful crystals of the condensing enzyme. His name was well known in France, but mostly from the literature, as Europe was just recovering from the war and international meetings were scarce. It was my first international meeting and I was excited. I had already made up my mind that I wanted to do my postdoctoral studies in Ochoa's lab and my supervisor, Eugene Aubel, introduced me to him. Severo Ochoa spoke fluent French and I was thrilled when he accepted me in his lab at New York University (N.Y.U.) to start in September 1953. We agreed that I should first spend a few months in Irwin C. Gunsalus's lab in Urbana. Severo was happy to get already trained postdocs, and I admired Gunsalus's work. Fortunately Gunsalus agreed to the scheme.

This collection of the papers and discussion presented at the Second International Conference on Congenital Malformations fills the reader with awe and admiration for the immense strides made in the past few years in knowledge of this subject. Such an accumulation of learning, however, makes much of the book way beyond the capacity of the ordinary clinician, such as the reviewer, to fully understand, or at least to retain clearly in his mind. A lengthy first section deals with the chromosomes and their abnormalities and ably demonstrates how far research has gone in this field; perhaps it also demonstrates the limitations of the visual method of hunting for variations in chromosome appearance; its application in clinical medicine does tend to recall the old gibe about stamp collecting.

The Way

After a decade of chasing stories around the globe, intrepid travel writer Stephanie Elizondo Griest followed the magnetic pull home--only to discover that her native South Texas had been radically transformed in her absence. Ravaged by drug wars and barricaded by an eighteen-foot steel wall, her ancestral land had become the nation’s foremost crossing ground for undocumented workers, many of whom perished along the way. Before Elizondo Griest moved to the New York/Canada borderlands, the frequency of these tragedies seemed like a terrible coincidence. Once she began to meet Mohawks from the Akwesasne Nation, however, she recognized striking parallels to life on the southern border. Having lost their land through devious treaties, their mother tongues at English-only schools, and their traditional occupations through capitalist ventures, Tejanos and Mohawks alike struggle under the legacy of colonialism. Toxic industries surround their neighborhoods while the U.S. Border Patrol militarizes them. Combating these forces are legions of artists and activists devoted to preserving their indigenous cultures. Complex belief systems, meanwhile, conjure miracles. In All the Agents and Saints, Elizondo Griest weaves seven years of stories into a meditation on the existential impact of international borderlines by illuminating the spaces in between.

On October 12th and 13th, 2020, Bryansk State University held an international scientific online conference "Vegetation of Eastern Europe and Northern Asia". The Proceedings of abstracts includes 66 reports by 118 authors and co-authors from 5 countries, 34 localities and 51 organizations. During the meeting, 41 oral presentations were made. In conclusion, it was noted that it is necessary to promote an integration of geobotanists and florists from different regions in order to implement joint research projects. In particular, this concerns a project of making a vegetation classification in Russia.
