In 1993, big, loveable Jonathan Fracter from NIST walked right through a plate glass window at Colby- Sawyer College. It was not funny at the time, of course, but it has been discussed anecdotally ever since - especially the speed with which the college put stickers of owls on the other windows.

The GRC format doesn't work everywhere. At a meeting in the Riviera in 1975, it became evident that you can't have a scientific session after a French dinner - so one was held in the late afternoon.

The first high resolution X-ray structures of membrane-bound proteins were presented at the Bioenergetics Gordon Conference, which was important in stimulating research in the area. It was able to focus the science on electron and proton transport systems which enabled many important breakthroughs in this area.

The 2004 GRC on Spirochetes was especially memorable because of the remarkable degree of unpublished research that was presented.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.

The Mechanisms of Toxicity GRC was the actual breeding ground for the development of the Society of Toxicology, now one of the most successful scientific societies in the United States and recognized as the home for excellence in toxicological research and expertise.
