For Attendance at the 13th International Congress o f Bio- chemistry, Amsterdam, The Netherlands, August 25-30 , 1985

IUB and the Organizing Committee of the 13th IUB Congress will together make available awards to assist younger biochem- ists who wish to attend the Congress. Primary consideration will be given to residents of countries where the practice of the science of biochemistry is in the early stages of develop- ment. The Fellowships will support part of the cost of travel (normally up to a maximum of half the listed economy air fare or 70% of the APEX fare, whichever is lower) and subsist- ence during the Congress. The Organizing Committee of the Congress will waive the registration fee for Fellowship holders.

Applications should include the following information: (1) Name and date of birth, (2) Citizenship, residence, (3) Place of work, including full postal address, (4) Nature of work, (5) List of publications, (6) Do you intend to present a contribution at the 13th IUB Congress? If so, indicate its tentative title, (7) Support available or expected to be avail- able to the applicant, (8) Names of three referees, one of whom should, if possible, not live in the applicant's country of residence.

This notice should be shown to the referees, and applicants must ask them to write to Dr Hill, at the address below, to reach him by August 15, 1984. Applications must be made in triplicate and as early as possible, arriving no later than August 15, 1984, to: Dr R L Hill, Department of Biochemistry, Duke University Medical Center, Durham, North Carolina 27710, USA. It is hoped to make known the decisions of the Selection Committee by December I, 1984.

These volumes originate in the Proceedings of 10th Congress of the International Society for Heart Research, held in Mos- cow in 1980. Each comprises about 60 short communications on experimental cardiology, with an occasional review article. Volume 3 covers aspects of cardiac physiology, pharmacology and biochemistry, and Volume 4, pathology (divided into hypertrophy and ischaemia). This separation is somewhat arbitrary - lipid peroxidation and cyclic nucleotide meta- bolism, for example, appear in both volumes. These are not books for the undergraduate, consisting mainly of detailed experimental reports, but much interesting information is present. But why is publication so long after the conference?

The contributions to First International Symposium on Marker Proteins in Inflammation are recorded in this volume. The contributions themselves must have been very brief, as some of them run to a mere 4 pages of camera-ready copy, which is a very few words. So although the volume would give an overview of this area, I suspect it would not be of great value for preparing lectures or for the research worker. The areas covered are (1) the inflammatory response, (2) acute phase reactants, and (3) malnutrition and the immune res- ponse. A pleasant but expensive souvenir?
