The next meeting of ISHPSSB will be held in Seattle, Washington, USA from July 16th through July 20th, 1997. The main charge of the 1997 Program Committee is to maintain the special quality of ISHPSSB meetings, continuing the inclusive character of the Society. To this end the Committee encourages attendance and participation from historians, philosophers, social scientists, and biologists. As a rule we will limit participants to one main presentation in order to facilitate participation in the meeting; that is consistent with also serving as a commentator or chair in an additional session.
The Program Committee would like to have completed symposium topics for the 1997 meeting by November 1, 1996 in order to facilitate coordination. Members interested in organizing symposium sessions should send calls for papers for symposium topics to the chair of the 1997 Program committee. All calls for papers will be published on the ISHPSSB Website, on ISHPSB-L (the Society's email listserve), and in the next newsletter.
Deadline for detailed submissions for other presentations is January 31, 1997. All presentations must have a one page abstract, of roughly 200 words, provided to the Program Committee by January 31. As a guideline for session organizers, we plan on two morning and two afternoon sessions each day of 90 minutes each. In 1995 there were no evening sessions; however, we might schedule the plenary session for one evening this year.
Possible plenary session: "Biology and Agents without History." Organizer: Peter Taylor. The name derives from Eric Wolf's book, Europe and the People Without History (1982) and would address the people and things tending to be written out of biology and of our studies of biology, but implicated materially, discursively, economically or psychologically as the Others. This topic might include speakers on core/periphery, Man vs. gendered agents, basic vs. applied science (e.g., basic ecology vs. environmental science for regulatory purposes), formal vs. folk science. I would like speakers to highlight the dimensions they have been exploring and the methods they have come to use that others could learn from. Suggestions or volunteers for speakers would also be welcome.
In addition to the plenary, we have a number of proposed sessions. Organizers with sessions in mind, or topics for proposed sessions, should contact the program chair. Those interested in a particular session should contact the session organizer directly. Those so far proposed include:
Other relevant topics would include: Developmental Biology, Neuroscience, Molecular Evolution, Animal Behavior Research Goes Molecular.
Invited participants include: Hebe Vessuri (IVIC, Venezuela), Marcos Cueto (IEP, Peru) and Thomas Glick (Boston University, USA). For more information, contact Marilia Coutinho (Universidade de Sao Paulo, Brazil), email: mcoutinho@originet.com.br.
The members of the Program Committee, listed below, welcome ideas, comments and suggestions about the 1997 Meeting:
Historians, philosophers, social scientists and biologists are invited to organize further sessions or to suggest possible session topics. Contact any member of the Program Committee for more information.
ISHPSSB is pleased to announce the establishment of The Marjorie Grene Prize. This prize is intended to advance the careers of younger scholars, and will be awarded to the best manuscript based on a paper presented at one of the previous two ISHPSSB meetings by someone who was, at the time of presentation, a graduate student.
It is very appropriate for ISHPSSB to name this prize in Marjorie Grene's honor. Her work in history and philosophy of biology has provided models for many ISHPSSB members, and exemplifies the spirit of pursuing interactions among the fields within ISHPSSB; she played a central role in bringing together the scholars in the meetings that became the pre-history of ISHPSSB; and she has been a mentor to many of the leading members of the Society.
The award will consist of a certificate and up to $200 towards expenses incurred in attending the following meeting of the Society and not reimbursed from another source. If the manuscript is not already under review by a journal, the prize committee will promote the winning entry to one of the leading journals.
The postmark deadline for submissions for the first competition is 1 February 1997. The winning entry will be announced by April 15 1997. Send three copies of manuscripts to Prof. R. Rainger, History Department, Texas Tech. University, Lubbock, TX 79409. ISHPSSB encourages, but does not require, all entrants to be members of the Society.
ISHPSSB Listserve/Website Ideas for additional items to include on our website are always welcome -- please forward them to Peter Taylor, President (pjt1@rci.rutgers.edu), Valerie Hardcastle, Webmeister ( valerie@vt.edu), or Barbara Horan, Secretary (bhoran@gsvms2.cc.gasou.edu).
From the Listmeister Chris Young, (University of Minnesota; youn0008@gold.tc.umn.edu)
We have established a moderated e-mail list for the Society. Please save this message for future reference, especially if you are not familiar with LISTSERV. This might look like a waste of space now, but in 6 months you will be glad you saved this information when you realize that you cannot remember what are the lists you are subscribed to, or what is the command to leave the list to avoid filling up your mailbox while you are on vacations. In fact, you should create a new mail folder for subscription confirmation messages like this one, and for the "welcome messages" from the list owners that you will occasionally receive after subscribing to a new list.
Any member interested in receiving mailings on this e-mail list should "subscribe" to the list by sending the following message
SUBSCRIBE ISHPSB-L yourfirstname yourlastnameto
LISTSERV@tc.umn.edu
By the way, the reason there is only one 'S' in our listserv name is because we were limited to 8 characters.
Once you subscribe to the list, your name and e-mail address will be added to the list and you will receive a verification. At that point, you can participate as much or as little as you like in various conversations on the e-mail list.
To send a message to all the people currently subscribed to the list, just send mail to ISHPSB-L@tc.umn.edu. This is called "sending mail to the list", because you send mail to a single address and LISTSERV makes copies for all the people who have subscribed. This address, ISHPSB-L@tc.umn.edu, is also called the "LIST address". You must never try to send any command to that address, as it would be distributed to all the people who have subscribed. All commands must be sent instead to the "LISTSERV address," which for us is LISTSERV@tc.umn.edu. It is very important to understand the difference between the two, but fortunately it is not complicated. The LISTSERV address is like a FAX number, and the list address is like a normal phone line. If you make your FAX call someone's regular phone number by mistake, it will be an unpleasant experience for him or her but you will probably be excused the first time. If you do it regularly, however, he or she will probably get upset and send you a nasty complaint. It is the same with mailing lists, with the difference that you are calling hundreds or thousands of people at the same time, so a lot more people get annoyed if you use the wrong number.
Mailings will be assembled about once a month by a moderator, a real live person who will read through the messages and sort them by topic. The moderator will help to reduce the amount of mail that ends up coming to your inboxes by combining related messages, eliminating duplication, and making sure only messages intended for the entire list end up being e-mailed to everyone.
If the number of messages coming in to the moderator is large, or if messages have timely information (e.g. meeting or seminar announcements), the moderator may forward mailings to the e-mail list more frequently.
One of the most important functions for the web site is to facilitate the connection of people with related paper proposals or session ideas that are not yet complete. We encourage members to send out "calls for papers" to the e-mail list. This will allow more rapid turnaround for session development. ISHPSSB members may submit their tentative proposals to the Society's email list by sending them via email to the list address, ISHPSB-L@tc.umn.edu, or to the Program Co-ordinator Bob Richardson (robert.richardson@uc.edu; see elsewhere in the newsletter for his snail mail address). Under Bob's guidance Chris Young, the Listmeister, will package them for inclusion on the list, in the newsletter, and will send them to Valerie Hardcastle for inclusion on the web site.
The newsletter will also go out to the e-mail list. Once the list is up and running, if you prefer not to receive a printed version of the newsletter in the mail (snail mail), your name could be dropped from that mailing list (thus reducing printing and mailing costs for the Society).
Every ISHPSSB member is encouraged to subscribe to the e-mail list to enjoy more frequent and rapid correspondence with other members. If you know other members who have not subscribed, please encourage them to do so. Of course, an e-mail list should not marginalize members whose internet access is limited, by location or by choice. The Society will continue its regular mailings.

Biotechnology Risk Regulation in Europe: Implementation of Directive 90/220
In 1990 the European Community adopted the Deliberate Release Directive 90/220 as a means to anticipate and prevent potential harm from the intentional release of genetically modified organisms. The Directive linked environmental protection with 'harmonized procedures and criteria' for approving genetically modified products across the European Community, which has since been enlarged to become the European Union (EU). For many commercial products, however, EU member states have disagreed over the basis for market approval.
During 1994-95 the efforts at implementation and harmonization were studied by a network of researchers, co-ordinated by the Open University in Britain, and funded partly by DGXII of the European Commission. Their analysis has been published as the June 1996 issue of the journal Science amd Public Policy. Les Levidow and Susan Carr served as guest editors for that special issue, entitled 'Biotechnology Risk Regulation in Europe'. It features a lengthy overview of the European Union plus short articles on eight member states.
To purchase copies of the journal (or subscriptions), please contact the publisher via e-mail: page@scipol.demon.co.uk or via regular mail at Beech Tree Publishing, Guildford, Surrey GU1 2EP, fax 44-1483-567497. Reprints of the Europe and UK articles are available (in limited numbers) from the project co-ordinators: e-mail M.McVay@open.ac.uk, Mary McVay, Centre for Technology Strategy, Open University, Milton Keynes MK7 6AA, UK; fax 44-1908-652175.

Graduate students qualify for a reduced membership fee -- only $5 (pets join for free!) Otherwise a one-year regular membership is $15 USD; a two-year membership is $25 USD.
Membership forms are also available by contacting ISHPSSB student representative Chris Young, University of Minnesota, 435 Walter Library, Minneapolis, MN 55455; e-mail: youn0008@gold.tc.umn.edu). The Society's Website has a membership form as well. Its location is http://www.phil.vt.edu/ISHPSSB/member.html. All checks must be in USD; payment by Visa/Mastercard is welcome. Feel free to return the form electronically.
Renewing members Here is a simple 3-step procedure for renewing your ISHPSSB membership. All of this can be done electronically by accessing the Society's Website, where the Application/Renewal/Payment of Dues Form lives in its electronic version.
Step 1. Look at the mailing label on your newsletter. Check the "Dues Paid Through 19xx" part. If the date is 1997 or later, your dues are paid. If the date is 1996, you may renew your membership now or wait until the end of the year to renew. If the date there is 1995 or earlier, you owe us money. Get out your checkbook or credit card. (Steady now.) Fill out the Application/Renewal/Payment of Dues Form enclosed with this newsletter. Make the appropriate marks in your checkbook or record the appropriate credit card numbers on the form, and return the form (with payment) to the ISHPSSB Secretary.
Step 2. If you think the information we have in our membership files is out of date (email addresses seem especially volatile), please provide us with the new information, using the same Membership Renewal Form. Mail (or email) it back to the ISHPSSB Secretary.
Step 3. Think about whether you wouldn't rather have this stylish document, the IshKabibble Newsletter, sent to you electronically. If so, indicate this on the Application/ Renewal/Payment of Dues Form. If you want to subscribe to the Society's email list (for monthly announcements and virtual general meetings in the in-between years) indicate that as well. Mail (or email) this information to the ISHPSSB Secretary.
