COLLOQUIUM ON Variation and Evolution in Plants and Microorganisms: Toward a New Synthesis: 50 Years after Stebbins
NATIONAL ACADEMY OF SCIENCES Colloquium Series
In 1991, the National Academy of Sciences inaugurated a series of scientific colloquia, five or six of which are scheduled each year under the guidance of the NAS Council's Committee on Scientific Programs. Each colloquium addresses a scientific topic of broad and topical interest, cutting across two or more of the traditional disciplines. Typically two days long, colloquia are international in scope and bring together leading scientists in the field. Papers from colloquia are published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS).
