that you invited me to the symposium--this was the best symposium (at the scientific and nonscientific level) I ever attended..."

"Yes, the E. E. Just Symposium was a great success... Eveline and I thought that the Symposium
was outstanding. ...[It] will remain in my memory for a long time."

"... I thought
the symposium went very well. The range of topics was great and I really liked having it on the Howard campus."
Sally Moody, Professor of Anatomy
and Regenerative Biology, and Genetics, at George Washington University

"The symposium
actually surpassed my expectations in three ways. First, it was a well conceived scientific program that integrated quite
effectively presentations on fertilization, evo-devo and eco-devo in a logical continuum, which was itself worthy of a conference
for the value of the science. Second, it was a timely homage to Just’s own early work on fertilization and emphasis
on the role of external conditions in development which was quite a contrast to then-current dogma. And third, it resonated
poignantly with the recent election of Obama as President-Elect and the prevailing emotion of change-for-the-better in science
and society."

"I believe the symposium was outstanding... I found myself interacting with students from
Howard during the morning snacks before the talks as well as at lunch and during coffee breaks. The speakers were inspirational...
You had a nice group of speakers from a variety of institutions as well as different backgrounds. Overall, it was a wonderful
educational experience for me."

"I
enjoyed the event a lot; I learned a lot about Ernest Just and developmental biology."
