One time I went into a New Hampshire town with a group of scientists. It was "open mic" night and one of the GRC conferees actually won the singing competition.

The Cancer Detection and Diagnosis GRC was excellent because the latest in the clinical proteomics and the challenges involved were discussed. Based on the discussion during the conference, guidelines for biomarker validation were established.

The GRC on Laser Diagnostics in Combustion provides a unique forum for multidisciplinary interaction. Combustion is an academic component of mechanical engineering, but fundamental studies use significant chemistry and physics. The GRC and its "off the record" policy has enabled candid industrial participation.

The Meiosis GRCs have literally changed my research program, as well as my way of thinking. The combination of mammalian / non-mammalian participants has also created new collaborative efforts in the meiosis community.

The 2004 GRC on Spirochetes was especially memorable because of the remarkable degree of unpublished research that was presented.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