APS heads to the big easy for annual March meeting
DOI: 10.1063/1.2883910
New Orleans is the location for this year’s American Physical Society annual March Meeting. The meeting runs from Monday, 10 March, through Friday, 14 March, with presessions scheduled for Saturday and Sunday, 8–9 March. The scientific sessions will be held at the Ernest N. Morial Convention Center. More than 90 invited sessions and 550 contributed sessions are planned. Some 20 categories have been created to organize the approximately 7000 scientific papers submitted for the conference. In addition, APS and the Minerals, Metals, and Materials Society will be holding overlapping technical conferences in the convention center 9–12 March, centering on integrated computational materials engineering.
Tutorials, workshops, receptions, and a job fair are also among this year’s offerings. All nontechnical APS-sponsored and satellite meetings will take place at the headquarters hotel—the New Orleans Marriott on Canal Street, which is within walking distance of the French Quarter. At a companions’ breakfast, Monday, 10 March, attendees’ families and companions can learn about the city’s attractions from a representative of the New Orleans Convention and Visitors Bureau.
Before the meeting begins, participants can attend a two-day Division of Polymer Physics short course, scheduled for 8:00am–5:00pm, Saturday and Sunday, 8–9 March. Titled “High-Throughput Approaches to Polymer Physics and Materials Science,” the course will center on techniques and instrumentation as well as on applications to research.
Sunday, 9 March, features two all-day scientific workshops. The Fifth APS Workshop on Opportunities in Biological Physics revolves around biomechanics and genetic networks. During the Workshop on Opportunities in Energy Research, participants will discuss the dual challenges of meeting the nation’s energy needs and protecting the environment.
Also on Sunday, a series of eight half-day tutorials are planned on such subjects as density functional theory, spintronics, and quantum entanglement. Annette Naake Sisco, an editor of the New Orleans Times–Picayune, will lead a Sunday afternoon workshop on op-ed writing. A professional skills development workshop aimed especially at women physicists is scheduled for 8:00am–5:00pm, during which participants will work on their communication and leadership skills; a reception follows the workshop. On Sunday evening, from 5:00 to 8:00pm, a free career workshop will help participants improve their networking skills, resumés, and interview techniques.
A special symposium, “25 Years of Scanning Probe Microscopy,” will be held on Monday, 10 March, from 8:00 to 10:00pm. The speakers are Don Eigler from IBM, who will cover classical computation in quantum nanostructures; Roland Wiesendanger from the University of Hamburg, who will talk about atomic-scale scanning probe microscopy; and Sergei Sheiko of the University of North Carolina, who will discuss polymer properties.
Join the journal editors from APS and the American Institute of Physics on Tuesday, 11 March, from 6:30 to 8:30pm, to celebrate 50 years of publication of Physical Review Letters. From Monday through Wednesday, 10:00am–5:00pm, editors from several APS journals, including Physical Review Letters and Reviews of Modern Physics , will be stationed at the APS Exhibit Booth to discuss the editorial process. For authors and referees, a tutorial led by editors from Physical Review Letters and Physical Review will be held on Wednesday, 12 March, from 9:00 to 10:30am.
A special symposium, “From Quarks to Cosmos: Breaking News at the Interface of Particle, Nuclear, and Astrophysics,” is scheduled for Wednesday, 12 March, 7:30–9:30pm. Principal speakers will be Joe Lykken from Fermilab, Michael Turner from the University of Chicago, and Michael Wiescher from the University of Notre Dame.
A number of social activities have been planned throughout the week. On Monday, 10 March, the annual awards program will take place from 5:30 to 6:30pm in the convention center, followed by a welcome reception. A networking breakfast for women physicists in industry, cosponsored by the Committee on the Status of Women in Physics and the Forum on Industrial and Applied Physics, is scheduled for Tuesday, 11 March. Alumni reunions will be held on Tuesday, 6:00–8:00pm, as will a student reception, 5:30–6:30pm, sponsored by APS and the Forum on Graduate Student Affairs. Tuesday evening will be topped off with the third annual Physics Sing-Along, from 8:30 to 9:30pm. On Wednesday, 12 March, 1:00–2:30pm, students can enjoy a complimentary box lunch while participating in one of several discussions on various topics; each group will be led by an expert.
The annual APS Job Fair will once again provide space for job seekers and prospective employers to meet. The job fair is being organized by the American Institute of Physics Career Network and runs 10–11 March, 10:00am–5:00pm. The exhibit show, which will offer information on physics-related products and services, is slated for 10–13 March.
