Richard J. Barohn, MD, Executive Vice Chancellor for Health Affairs, Hugh E. and Sarah D. Stephenson Dean, University of Missouri School of Medicine provides introductory remarks for the annual Health Sciences Research Day in the School of Medicine. He reminds the attendees of the importance of communicating scientific information. He provided historical context regarding the Royal Society of London for Improving Natural Knowledge founded in 1660, which was the first scientific society with regular meetings that discussed scientific advances. Essentially all scientific meetings are extensions of the lineage of the Royal Society's. He also compared the Royal Society's journal, the Philosophic Transactions of the Royal Society, with the School of Medicine's new journal, Missouri Health, in which all abstracts from Health Sciences Research Day are published.
