PLAY BREAK #3- FLAGRANT TYPOGRAPHICAL ERROR in 1984.

Click to enlarge.

Even very prestigious academies can sometimes be slipshod. To wit, note the spelling of G. Mitchell by the New York Academy of Sciences. Is G. Mitchell a member or not? To this day it is unclear. The Academy was never informed of its error because the flub was, and still is, amusing; and , in an odd way, the mistake is instructive to all who would become “elite”.

1990

American Society of Primatologists Annual Meeting.

Meeting Report: ASP in Davis, CA

About 400 primatologists met July 11-14, 1990, at the University of California Davis campus for the 13th annual meeting of the American Society of Primatologists. The keynote address was given by Professor Marian C. Diamond of UC Berkeley, an anatomist who works with rat subjects. Her address on the effects of environment and experience on the nervous system was extremely relevant to the efforts we are making to improve the environments of our primate subjects. Other featured speakers were Charles Snowdon (U. Wisconsin), who described his non-invasive investigations of suppression of ovulation in cotton-top tamarins; Gene Sackett (U. Washington), expressing the theory that there is a fundamental cross-purpose between veterinarians and caretakers, who strive to breed the healthiest possible animals, and researchers, who need animal models of human diseases and abnormalities; and Donald Lindburg (San Diego Zoo), who spoke of ex-situ propagation of endangered wildlife as a last resort in the face of vanishing habitat.

Symposia were held on the Socioecology of juvenile primates; Gorilla cognition and communication and its development; Rank and reproductive success; Genetic research on nonhuman primates: Issues in biology and management; Mechanisms of vocal communication in primates; and Psychological perspectives in primatology (a symposium in tribute to Gary Mitchell).  A workshop was held on Invasive and noninvasive applications of ultrasound in macaques, and another, in conjunction with the Association of Primate Veterinarians (who met in Sacramento 14-16 July), on USDA standards for outdoor primate facilities. Several films and videos were shown  and there were 50 posters presented, and 10 sessions of contributed papers on various subjects. Abstracts of the presentations were published in the American Journal of Primatology, 1990, 20 [3].

Four students were winners of the Student Presentation Awards. C. Drea (Emory U.) and M. Libet (UC Davis) who presented papers entitled, respectively, “Color discrimination and color reversal acquisition in group-living rhesus monkeys,” and “Differential tolerance across rank groups during social feeding in a captive group of rhesus monkeys.” L. Digby (UC Davis) and T. Justice (Wake Forest U.) presented posters on “An experimental test of dispersal choices in Callithrix jacchus,” and “Changes in the interfemale social behavior of Macaca fascicularis over the menstrual cycle.”

Officers were elected for the next 2 years: President, Joyce Sirianni; President-elect, Rich Rawlins; Past President, Bill Mason; Executive Secretary, Nancy Caine; and Treasurer, Jeff French.

The 14th annual meeting will be held jointly with the Mexican Primate Society on June 24-28, 1991, in Vera Cruz, Mexico.
