Implementing the New Biology Decadal Challenges Linking Food, Energy, and the Environment. Summary of a Workshop June 3-4, 2010

摘要

On June 3-4, 2010, a steering committee working under the auspices of the National Research Councils (NRCs) Board on Life Sciences (BLS) convened the workshop Implementing the New Biology: Decadal Challenges Linking Food, Energy, and the Environment in collaboration with the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE), U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA), Howard Hughes Medical Institute (HHMI), and Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation. All of these entities supported the workshop, which was held on the HHMI campus in Chevy Chase, Maryland. It is evidence of the compelling nature of the New Biology concept, and of the interdependence of the four challenge areas put forth in the New Biology report, that an organization dedicated to biomedical research and educa-tion hosted a workshop focused on food, energy, and the environment.
