SUMMARY

Santa Fe – with its museums and galleries full of art and crafts inspired by natural forms – was the perfect setting for a Keystone conference on vertebrate organogenesis in February 2004. Organized by Gail Martin and Cliff Tabin, the conference sessions were loosely subdivided into anatomical systems – `skin, hair, teeth', `pancreas, liver, gut', `skeleton', and so on. However, from the outset, common themes emerged that transcended particular organ systems and generated a sense of unity and excitement among the participants.
