"Frankenstein" has a heavy influence on today's culture, including over 117 movie and television adaptations and a heavy influence on medical science, specifically, bioethics. Frankenstein's influence spans more than two hundred years. To celebrate the birth of the sci-fi genre, the multi-generational, multidisciplinary impact of the 1818 novel, and the release of Frankenstein into the public domain, we hosted a three-day Frankenstein convention.
