1992 was a leap year that showcased the maiden voyage of Space Shuttle Endeavor, the release of the Macintosh LCII, riots in LA, the release of the first video phone (AT&T $1,499), and the 
end of apartheid in South Africa. It was also the same year a group of researchers interested in artificial intelligence and molecular biology participated in a joint NLM meeting with the National Science Foundation on the future of what was then termed artificial intelligence in molecular biology. The following year, the meeting evolved into the first Intelligent Systems in Molecular Biology (ISMB) conference, held in Washington DC.
Today, ISMB celebrates 20 years as the longest running annual bioinformatics/computational biology conference. Over the next five days in Long Beach, California, scientists from diverse disciplines and geographic coordinates will meet to share their work, exchange ideas and discuss challenges and opportunities. This meeting is near and dear to my heart given its focus on methodology and research centered on key biological problems.
