Integrative Biology: A Symposium Honoring George A. Bartholomew
Symposium organized by Raymond B. Huey and Gretchen E. Hofmann
Society Wide Symposium
Rationale for the Symposium: Only a few short decades ago, the biological sciences were being torn by a widening schism between molecular vs. organismal biology. In recent years, however, many leading biologists have sought to unite these fields. Indeed, there is a growing recognition on both sides that we each have much to gain from working together. The resulting synthesis of these once-warring disciplines is emerging in the exciting new field of “integrative biology.” This symposium is designed to highlight exciting new directions in integrative biology.
The symposium showcases presentations by a distinguished group of young biologists – the first ten winners of the George A. Bartholomew Award. This award is given annually by SICB to a “Distinguished Young Investigator in Comparative Physiology, Comparative Biochemistry, or Related Fields of Functional Biology.” The recipients of this award have already established extraordinary careers in integrative biology.
The symposium also honors George A. Bartholomew. He is remembered for his insightful and lasting reviews that codified the conceptual and philosophical foundations of integrative biology, as well as for his many empirical papers – Bart did integrative biology before the term was invented. No less importantly, Bart is remembered for the number of students he mentored.
