The annual ASCI meeting: does nostalgia have a future?
Abstract
For many academic physician-scientists, the yearly Tri-Societies meeting of the ASCI,
AAP, and AFCR during the 1960s, '70s, and '80s was an annual rite of spring and the
focal point of the academic year. In this brief essay, I set down some miscellaneous
recollections of these meetings and some thoughts about why they were of such central
importance in the careers of those of my generation.
