Serving Science and Society into the New Millennium was a 1997 symposium sponsored by the U.S. Department of Energy and the National Research Council to celebrate the 50th anniversary of DOE's Biological and Environmental Research (BER) program. Three publications growing out of this meeting are available.

The Human Genome Project (HGP) was an international 13-year effort, 1990 to 2003. Primary goals were to discover the complete set of human genes and make them accessible for further biological study, and determine the complete sequence of DNA bases in the human genome. See Timeline for more HGP history.
Published from 1989 until 2002, this newsletter facilitated HGP communication, helped prevent duplication of research effort, and informed persons interested in genome research.
