APS Heads to Austin, Texas, for Its Annual March Meeting
DOI: 10.1063/1.1564351
According to legend, everything is bigger in Texas. Maybe that’s why the projected attendance at the meeting of the American Physical Society, scheduled to be held in Austin from 3 to 7 March, is the highest on record. Or maybe, speculates program organizer Donald Gubser of the Naval Research Laboratory, it has to do with the growing popularity of biophysics, quantum computing, and magnetic phenomena, as well as continuing interest in the other topics traditionally covered at the March meeting: superconductors, polymers, and so forth. The meeting will be held in the Austin Convention Center, and the headquarters hotel will be the Hyatt Regency Hotel.
Before the meeting kicks off on Monday morning, early arrivals have the chance to take a weekend short course or in enroll in several half-day tutorials. The APS division of polymer physics has organized a short course “Polymer Chemistry for Physicists,” which will run from 8 am to 5 pm on both Saturday and Sunday, 1-2 March.
On Sunday, APS is offering eight half-day tutorials. The morning tutorials, from 8:30 am to 12:30 pm, will address new directions in dilute-gas Bose–Einstein condensation, hetero-junctions, modeling system biology, and a new class of magnetic materials. The afternoon (1:30–5:30 pm) tutorials will cover what’s new in spintronics, synthesis and integration of functional nanostructures, things your professor will never tell you about careers and professional development, and the basic theory and computational methods involved in going from electrons to materials properties.
There will be a workshop on Sunday afternoon (1:30–5:30 pm) concerned with the role of physicists in countering terrorism.
Also on Sunday, from 3 to 6 pm in ballroom B of the convention center, APS will offer a workshop on career choices in physics. The program will include such topics as preparing an effective resumé, networking, clarifying expectations, and developing interviewing skills and job-search techniques.
On Monday morning, 3 March, from 7 to 9 am, the APS committee on the status of women in physics and the forum on industrial and applied physics will sponsor a networking breakfast in the Hill Country C room of the Hyatt Regency Hotel, at a cost of $20 per person. A discussion session will follow informal remarks by Padmasree Warrior, vice president and chief technology officer of Motorola.
Late Monday afternoon, following the technical sessions, APS will hold a plenary award session from 5:15 to 6:15 pm in the convention center to present prizes and awards to 18 individuals for their accomplishments (see the awards story on page 71 of this issue). Following the awards ceremony, APS will host a welcome reception, from 6:15 to 7:30 pm.
Capping off Monday evening will be a 7:30 pm panel discussion in the convention center featuring leading researchers from five different fields of physics. Steven Girvin of Yale University will speak about condensed matter physics; MIT’s Frank Wilczek will discuss nuclear and particle physics; Michael Turner of the University of Chicago and Fermilab will talk about astrophysics and cosmology; Albert Libchaber of Rockefeller University, New York University, and NEC Research Institute will comment on the physics of biology; and David Gross of the University of California, Santa Barbara, will speak about string theory. Each speaker will expound on his “Dream for the Future: Where Are We? Where Are We Going?”
On Tuesday afternoon, 4 March, from 2 to 3 pm, there will be a panel discussion with the editors of the Physical Review and Physical Review Letters. The panel will be followed by a reception in the convention center from 3:30 to 5:30 pm, during which meeting attendees will have a chance to talk with the editors of all journals published by the American Institute of Physics and APS.
Also on Tuesday, APS will hold a student reception from 5:30 to 6:30 pm in Ballroom D of the Hyatt Regency. From 6 to 8 pm, a number of alumni reunions will be held in the Hyatt.
The popular program called “Students Lunch with Experts” will be held this year on Wednesday, 5 March, from 12:30 to 2:00 pm. Students can sign up at registration and choose the research topic they’d like to learn about.
On Wednesday evening at 7:30 pm, APS has organized a panel discussion on ethics in response to two highly publicized episodes of fraud in physics research last year. The session title is “Professional Conduct: What Can We Learn from Recent Events?” The speakers will be Malcolm Beasley of Stanford University Arthur Bienenstock, also of Stanford, Pierre Hohenberg of Yale, and George Trilling of the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory.
An important feature of the meeting is the job fair, whose purpose is to facilitate communication between employers and job candidates. The hours of the fair will be 9 am-5 pm on Monday and Tuesday and 9 am-1 pm on Wednesday.
In addition to technical sessions, the meeting will offer an exhibit show at which researchers can learn about the latest in laboratory equipment, software, and books. The exhibit will be open on Monday and Tuesday from 10 am to 5 pm, and on Wednesday from 10 am to 4 pm.
