Annual Physical Society Meeting Japan style
DOI: 10.1063/1.3056908
A scientific meeting is a gathering of specialists to participate in an interchange of ideas. The effectiveness of this interchange is influenced greatly by the manner in which the meeting is organized. Administrative matters such as the circulation of abstracts prior to the sessions and presentation of graphs and tables by the speakers are becoming problems of ever increasing magnitude. In the course of attending the Annual Meeting of the Physical Society of Japan held in Hiroshima October 8–12, 1959, the idea suggested itself that procedures were sufficiently different from those in the United States that a brief description might be of interest to readers of Physics Today, and might also hopefully suggest ideas for possible consideration.
