Cell theory
- In the 1600s, Robert Hooke observed "cells" under a microscope when examining cork and coined the term. Anton van Leeuwenhoek then described living cells from pond water in the 1670s.
- Scientists originally believed in the theory of spontaneous generation, that life could arise from non-living things like dust or decaying meat, until experiments by Francesco Redi and Louis Pasteur disproved this.
- Pasteur's experiments with swan neck flasks in the 1800s demonstrated that life only arises from other living cells, providing support for the cell theory that all living things are made of cells, cells come only from other cells, and cells perform functions necessary to sustain life
Complexity A Guided Tour By Melanie Mitchell
This document provides background information on complexity science and the emergence of complexity as a field of study. It discusses how reductionism was the dominant scientific approach but struggled to explain complex phenomena involving living systems, economies, technology and other real-world systems. In the 1980s, scientists realized these phenomena required an interdisciplinary approach beyond existing disciplines. This led to the founding of the Santa Fe Institute to study complex systems using new scientific foundations not yet developed. The document also provides some biographical context for the author and their interest in complexity science emerging from studies in computer science, artificial intelligence and computation in natural systems.

A roadmap for the human development
The Human Developmental Cell Atlas (HDCA) initiative, which is part of the Human Cell Atlas, aims to create a comprehensive reference map of cells during development. This will be critical to understanding normal organogenesis, the effect of mutations, environmental factors and infectious agents on human development, congenital and childhood disorders, and the cellular basis of ageing, cancer and regenerative medicine. Here we outline the HDCA initiative and the challenges of mapping and modelling human development using state-of-the-art technologies to create a reference atlas across gestation. Similar to the Human Genome Project, the HDCA will integrate the output from a growing community of scientists who are mapping human development into a unified atlas. We describe the early milestones that have been achieved and the use of human stem-cell-derived cultures, organoids and animal models to inform the HDCA, especially for prenatal tissues that are hard to acquire. Finally, we provide a roadmap towards a complete atlas of human development.
Responsible conduct of research
The document discusses the responsible conduct of research through several quotes and examples. Erwin Chargaff discusses the mistreatment of science through splitting the atom and genetic manipulation. David Orr discusses the environmental impact of human activities like deforestation and pollution. The document then provides examples of influential scientists and their contributions to various industries. It concludes by questioning the traditional purposes of research and who should evaluate research, suggesting the beneficiary rather than the researcher or economy should determine responsible conduct and evaluation.

David Gross, as conference chair, expressed his pleasure at chairing the conference and hope that the Solvay tradition continues.
History of cell culture
Cell culture refers to growing cells outside of their natural environment in an artificial setting. Some key developments in cell culture include Wilhelm Roux demonstrating maintenance of living cells outside the body in saline buffer in 1885, and Ross Granville Harrison developing the first techniques of cell culture in vitro using frog embryonic tissue in 1907. In the 1920s, composition of salt solutions was formulated for cell cultures. The first cell line, called the "L cell line", was established by Earle in 1948 using cells from mouse tissue. Hayflick and Moorhead defined the finite lifespan of normal human cells in 1961. Cell culture remains an important tool in biomedical research today.

The document summarizes developments in animal welfare (AW) policies in the European Union over the past 40 years. It outlines key milestones like the inclusion of AW in the EU Treaty in 1999 and the establishment of the first Community Action Plan in 2006. The Action Plan aimed to upgrade standards, promote research, introduce AW indicators, and increase public involvement. In 2010, the European Parliament supported the achievements but called for a new EU Strategy to further integrate and enforce AW policies through a framework law, reference centers, and equivalent import standards. The new Strategy recognizes consumers' influence and aims to simplify regulation through outcome-based indicators, transparency, and competence requirements.

Keeling
This document discusses using outcome-based measures to assess animal welfare. Traditionally, assessments focused on available resources and management practices, but outcome measures provide a more direct evaluation of an animal's welfare by examining the animal's response and health status. Effective outcome measures are scientifically valid, reliable, and address the specific goals of an assessment. Developing standardized core measures along with optional and developing measures provides a sensible "toolbox" approach to outcome-based welfare assessment.
Fikes
The document discusses market-driven animal welfare in the EU and US and whether there is room for joint initiatives. It notes that there is an information gap between consumer opinions and farmer priorities regarding animal agriculture. It proposes that the first step is establishing formal dialogue between EU and US groups interested in sustainable animal agriculture to work toward global standards for housing, feeding, transporting and harvesting food animals. It questions what the roles of government, private industry and non-profits would be in any joint initiatives.

Editor's Notes
- My father was a mediaeval historian, and I grew up in Oxford...
- I was born in 1943. Sugar was rationed for the first 10 years of my life. No surprise, then, that I was prejudiced in favour of the USA by the kind gifts of chocolates at Christmas from American friends of my parents. I was eager to explore the New World, and the chance came while I was a graduate student in my second year; I went and worked at the Albert Einstein College of Medicine in the Bronx for about four months. It was a marvellous experience, and I returned home with lots of fresh ideas.
- By contrast, American views of Europe - the Old World — are apt to emphasise the traditional backward-looking, perhaps even corrupt, class-ridden and decadent life of lascivious ease. No doubt there are corners where this may have a residue of truth, but for the most part you will find a fine and productive science and technology base as well as a thriving cultural environment.
- Here’s the Airbus assembly plant in Toulouse and one of the Mercedes factories in Germany
- And at CERN in Geneva, the massive Large Hadron Collider, a triumph of pure science and applied engineering.
- ...so I went to Cambridge to learn how to become a proper scientist, a biochemist.
- I used to walk to work via this short-cut through the old Cavendish Laboratory
- And sometimes depressed, sometimes inspired at the thought of the great discoveries that had been made in these very buildings
