DESCRIPTION:"A Century Without Biology: The Extinction Crisis, Biotechnology, and the 
 Suppression of Scientific Inquiry", a lecture by Dr. Chapela will be 
 followed by interactive discussion with the university communities at 
 Berkeley and Columbia, Missouri.  Some have forecast the 21st Century  as 
 the Age of BioTechnology.  We have indeed witnessed an unprecented increase 
 in our capacity and willingness to radically alter living systems through 
 technological interventions.  Yet, the science of Biology has not kept 
 apace and we have seen, since the Inquisition, such suppression and 
 manipulation of biological inquiry.  Together, these trends may mean an 
 epoch defined by large biological transformations-with an absence of 
 infrastructure, physical and conceptual, to confront it.  What is the 
 character of this century without Biology? What are the possible options to 
 weather its effects?  Central to our discussion are questions of 
 organization and action to support existing biological and human resources 
 to confront the next century.   For more information visit our website at:
