Making new connections.
A Keystone symposium held in Taos, New Mexico, 21-26 March 2002 provided the setting for a pioneering gathering of cell biologists and neuroscientists. Under the guidance of organizers Tom Pollard, James Sabry and Carla Schatz, the meeting, entitled 'Cellular Motility and Signaling in the Wiring and Plasticity of Nervous Systems', brought together two groups of researchers that ordinarily rarely connect at scientific conferences. The goal of this new collegial interchange was to fuse expertise on cytoskeletal dynamics with emerging ideas in neuronal development.
