A Congress of Electro-Radio-Biology.--The First International
Congress of Electro-Radio-Biology is scheduled to take place in Venice in September, I934 . All subjects concerning oscillatory and corpuscular phenomena in relation to biology will be examined and discussed: ultra-sounds, electric waves, infra-red, light, ultra-violet, radium, penetrating radiation in its probable influences on the various manifestations of organic and organized matter and in applied laboratory work; photodynamic actions, long-distance actions of metals, Gurwitsch rays, phenomena of luminescence, radiations of radio-active salts in organic combinations; electric states of the atmosphere; spectroscopy; influences of radiating energy on heredity and so on.
The most prominent figures in physics, chemistry and present day biology will give lectures in their special fields after which will follow talks of a more strictly radio-biological nature. It is to be a fundamental congress based on new and universal foundations in which those whose studies have a bearing on all matters related directly or indirectly with the subject will exchange their own ideas, thus tending to reach a program of unification in the promising field of radio-biology.
