NIH Conference on Knowledge Environments for Biomedical Research (December 11-12, 2006)

摘要

When writing the poem "The Rock," T. S. Eliot probably didn't realize that a phrase from it would end up as an internet cliche ("Where is the knowledge we have lost in information?")-a web search with this exact phrase returned 36 thousand hits. The phrase, eloquent even after overuse, set the stage for an NIH conference on Knowledge Environments for Biomedical Research, held December 11-12, 2006. About two hundred and fifty attendees, virtually the who's who list of the subject area, drawn from academia, industry, and government attended this 2-day conference in Bethesda, MD.
