2 Join Keystone Symposia in Asia for our October Conferences on Nutrition and Diabetes HumanNutrition,HealthandEnvironment October 14 18, 2015 China World Hotel Beijing China Scientifc Organizers: Martin Kussmann, Hannelore Daniel and Jacqueline Pontes Monteiro Understanding interactions of nutrition and lifestyle with an individualõs genetic makeup is vital for maintaining health and delaying disease onset. Toward that end, this meeting aims to: 1) Bring together researchers from traditionally separated disciplines: nutrition, (gen) omics, clinics, physiology, epidemiology, analytics, biomathematics; 2) Advance nutrition research as a quantitative, holistic and molecular science; 3) Review/challenge classical pre-clinical models and clinical study designs, incorporating improved translational in vitro and in vivo models, human intervention study designs, and innovative new tools/technologies for molecular phenotyping; and 4) Connect basic science to patient- and consumer-relevant outputs in terms of personalized dietary/nutritional counseling and monitoring/diagnostics. Session Topics: The Interaction between Human Genome, Diet and Environment Translational Models for Human Nutrition and Health Human Nutritional and Lifestyle Interventions Diabetes: New Insights into Molecular Mechanisms and Therapeutic Strategies October 25 29, 2015 Westin Miyako Kyoto Kyoto Japan Scientifc Organizers: Takashi Kadowaki, Juleen R. Zierath, Nobuya Inagaki and Barbara B. Kahn The prevalence of type 2 diabetes is rising to epidemic proportions worldwide. Type 2 diabetes is a complex disease caused by dysfunction of multiple organ systems, and disease susceptibility is profoundly infuenced by both genetic and environmental factors. This meeting brings together leading professionals in the academic and pharmaceutical communities with various specialties in diabetes research to share new approaches and research paradigms. The meeting will present the latest discoveries in diabetes research, highlighting essential aspects of diabetes, as well as emerging themes that are likely to provide novel therapeutic approaches. Session Topics: Islet Dysfunction in Diabetes Regenerative Medicine in Diabetes Gut Biology and Systemic Metabolism CNS Control of Metabolism Capturing and Monitoring Human Individuality From Nutrigenomics to Systems Nutrition Nutrition 2.0 Translation into Solutions for Human Health Global Nutrition and Sustainability Global Health Travel Award Deadline (for investigators from developing countries): May 12, 2015; Scholarship & Discounted Abstract Deadline: June 16, 2015; Abstract Deadline: July 14, 2015; Discounted Registration Deadline: August 13, 2015 For additional details, visit Novel Insights into Adipocyte Biology Molecular Mechanisms Underlying Insulin Resistance Genetics and Epigenetics of Diabetes Diabetes and Healthy Lifespan Scholarship & Discounted Abstract Deadline: June 25, 2015; Abstract Deadline: July 23, 2015; Discounted Registration Deadline: August 25, 2015 For additional details, visit

3 WHAT DO YOU AND THOMAS EDISON HAVE IN COMMON? AAAS. By investing in AAAS you join Thomas Edison and the many distinguished individuals whose vision led to the creation of AAAS and our world-renowned journal, Science, more than 150 years ago. Like Edison, you can create a legacy that will last well into the future through planned giving to AAAS. By making AAAS a benefciary of your will, trust, retirement plan, or life insurance policy, you make a strong investment in our ability to advance science in the service of society for years to come. To discuss your legacy planning, contact Juli Staiano, Director of Development, at (202) , or jstaiano@aaas.org, or visit for more information society I feel great knowing that I will leave behind a legacy that will be channeled through the AAAS. It also means a lot to me to be able to honor my late parents, too. PETER ECKEL Member, 1848 Society and AAAS Member since 1988

5 Will you be meeting a Nobel Prize winner this December? (IfyouhavearecentPhDyoucouldbe.) Stockholm in the second week of December is a special place. The city is alive with excitement as it welcomes and celebrates the new Nobel Laureates at the annual Nobel Prize ceremony. If you are a PhD student, you could be here too meeting a Nobel Laureate and receiving a rather special prize yourself. Te journal Science & SciLifeLab have established Te Science & SciLifeLab Prize for Young Scientists, to recognize and reward excellence in PhD research and support young scientists at the start of their careers. It s about bright minds, bright ideas and bright futures. Four winners will be selected for this international award. Tey will have their essays published in the journal Science and share a new total of 60,000 USD in prize money. Te winners will be awarded in Stockholm, in December, and take part in a unique week of events including meeting leading scientists in their felds. Te last couple of days have been exhilarating. It has been an experience of a lifetime. Stockholm is a wonderful city and the Award winning ceremony exceeds my wildest dreams. Dr. Dan Dominissini, 2014 Prize Winner Who knows, Te Science & SciLifeLab Prize for Young Scientists could be a major stepping stone in your career and hopefully one day, during Nobel week, you could be visiting Stockholm in December once again. Tis prize is made possible with the kind support of the Knut and Alice Wallenberg Foundation.Tis Foundation grants funding in two main areas; research projects of high scientifc potential and individual support of excellent scientists. Te 2015 Prize is now open. Te deadline for submissions is August 1, Enter today: Te 2015 Prize categories are: Cell and Molecular Biology Ecology and Environment Genomics and Proteomics Translational Medicine
