In September of 1977 scientists from many countries met at the Asticou Inn in Maine to present and discuss papers written especially for this monograph. The presentations were informal and directed to the special interests of the audience in order to generate discussions.

Human choriogonadotropin also seems to be found in most, if not all, cells of the human body. The significance of this, however, is unknown.

In fact, making choices about educational pursuits and subsequent careers without input from mentors can prove disastrous.

Many times these individuals are from under served and disadvantaged backgrounds, where mentors are too few and far between. For them, deciding on which career path to take can be based not only on insufficient information but oft times on inaccurate information. Although the ...
