The Future of Biological Sciences Today's the Sciences Breakthrough Prize awardees imagine the possibilities in their fields December 2, 2013 Dear Friend, We are pleased to invite you to participate in a unique conversation exploring the secrets of life and the future of knowledge. Join us as we host a dialogue between several of the world's deepest thinkers in life sciences at the UC San Francisco Mission Bay campus on Friday, December 13, from 4-5:30 pm with a reception immediately following. The recipients of the 2014 Breakthrough Prize will participate in a lively discussion with a select audience about the future of the life sciences: challenges and possibilities in the next decade. The six panelists have made major contributions to human knowledge and discovery—such as unraveling the human genome, tracing the patterns of neural activity that allow thought and creativity—thereby leading the charge in the battle against devastating diseases such as cancer and Parkinson's. This is an exciting opportunity to hear from the new awardees who will both challenge and change our view of health and disease. Please respond by December 9 to special-events©ucsfmedctr.org.
