Scientific Retreat 2005
&
Volen National Center for Complex
Systems Annual Retreat, 2005
"From Molecules to
Robots"
Charles River Museum of Industry
Waltham, Massachusetts
The 2005 Volen National Center for Complex Systems retreat
was held at the Charles River Museum of Industry in Waltham,
Massachusetts. This museum was an undiscovered local gem
for many of the guests, and its exhibits of local history,
clock works, trains, and other machinery added to the
education and pleasure of us all. In addition to our keynote
speaker, Hollis Cline, five Brandeis faculty spoke about
a variety of topics. The interdisciplinary nature of this
retreat is a fine example of the scientific interdisciplinary
efforts of the Volen Center. The day was a complete success,
from the well- received lectures, to the setting, food
and musical entertainment which was provided by a neuroscience
graduate student and a postdoctoral fellow.
