I remember conference Chair Arthur "Buz" Brown using a loud gas powered horn to keep David Yue from going over time during the Cardiac Regulatory Mechanisms conference in the mid-1990s.

For me, science took on a whole new dimension at my first GRC, which was on Electron Donor Acceptor Interactions. I felt I was finally a full-fledged member of the scientific community. It really was both a rite of passage and an eye-opener to the power of scientific thought and the scientific community.

The Separations and Purification GRC is fragmented into specialties such as distillation, extraction, absorption, ion exchange, chromatography, and crystallization. The GRC helped bring the experts in these different areas together where we could learn from each other and cross pollinate.

I have forged many excellent collaborations at the GRCs. These collaborations turn Europeans, who we often see as competitors, into colleagues. The GRC is so important in developing the global scientific community. It is an experience that every young scientist should have.

I remember John Partridge reappearing naked after one of Koji Nakanishi's magic tricks at a Natural Products Conference.

The 2004 GRC on Spirochetes was especially memorable because of the remarkable degree of unpublished research that was presented. I felt this represented the high level of trust that had developed among attendees.
