APS March meeting has broad purview
DOI: 10.1063/1.2195316
Some 7000 people will descend upon Baltimore this month for the American Physical Society’s annual March meeting, which has more than 90 invited sessions, some 550 contributed sessions, more than 200 focus sessions, and three poster sessions. Topics range from condensed matter physics, materials physics, high polymer physics, and fluid dynamics to chemical and biological physics, laser science, computational physics, industrial and applied physics, and atomic, molecular, and optical physics. There are also dozens of group and division business meetings, symposia, workshops, socials, and receptions throughout the week.
The meeting, which runs from Monday, 13 March through Friday, 17 March, with pre-sessions scheduled for Saturday, 11 March and Sunday, 12 March, is well past its centennial. Specific information on session and other program descriptions is available at http://www.aps.org/meet/MAR06 . All scientific sessions and some APS-sponsored sessions are held at the Baltimore Convention Center; other satellite sessions are convening at the Marriott Waterfront Hotel, the headquarters hotel for the meeting.
A special feature of this year’s meeting because of its location is a two-day schedule of congressional visits slated for Wednesday, 15 March and Thursday, 16 March. The APS Office of Public Affairs (OPA), which has organized the visits, seeks attendees from as many districts and states as possible to travel to Capitol Hill to meet with US senators and representatives to educate them on the importance of science research funding.
Pre-meeting programs include a short course on “Polymers in Existing and Emerging Patterning Technologies,” from 8:30am to 5:00pm Saturday, 11 March and 8:30am to 3:00pm Sunday, 12 March at the convention center. Tutorials, also at the convention center, include Sunday morning sessions on spintronics, interpretations of quantum mechanics, molecular magnetics, and thermoelectric energy conversion. Sunday’s afternoon tutorials cover cavity QED, spallation neutron sources, lithography, and polymeric templating.
A workshop on professional skills development for women physicists is being held from 8:00am to 5:00pm Sunday at the Marriott, followed by a reception there from 5:00pm to 6:30pm. The workshop will offer training on persuasive negotiation and communication skills for tenure-track and newly tenured women physicists. In addition, a networking breakfast for women in physics is Tuesday from 7:30am to 9:30am at the Marriott.
Also in the career arena is a workshop on opportunities in biology for physicists, from 8:00am to 6:00pm Sunday at the convention center. A free career workshop open to all attendees runs from 3:00pm to 7:00pm Sunday at the convention center. Registration and check-in for the APS Job Fair, which last year helped join hundreds of job seekers and some 50 employers, is from 1:00pm to 4:00pm Sunday at the convention center, and the fair itself runs from 10:00am to 5:00pm Monday and Tuesday and from 10:00am to 4:00pm Wednesday.
Special symposia include “Emerging Emergent Phenomena,” 8:00pm to 10:00pm Monday at the Marriott; “Intelligent Design: Its Impact and Responses to It,” 7:30pm to 9:30pm Tuesday at the Marriott; “Perspectives on Our Energy Future,” 7:30pm to 9:00pm Wednesday at the Marriott; and “The Changing Dynamics of Industrial Research as a Consequence of Global Trends,” sponsored by APS and the American Institute of Physics, 11:15am to 2:15pm Thursday at the convention center.
Six APS journals and eight AIP journals are represented at the conference; an APS journal editors’ panel discussion is from 2:30pm to 3:30pm Tuesday at the convention center. A “Meet the Editors” session follows from 3:30pm to 5:30pm Tuesday at the center.
Poster sessions and the exhibit show, which features such products and services as laser and optical component equipment, test and measurement equipment, scientific software, and spectroscopy equipment, are at the convention center; hours for both are 10:00am to 5:00pm Monday and Tuesday and 10:00am to 4:00pm Wednesday.
Other events include a companion breakfast Monday from 8:00am to 9:30am at the Marriott, a welcome reception Monday from 6:45pm to 8:00pm at the convention center, and a physics sing-along and listen-along Wednesday from 9:00pm to 10:00pm at the Marriott. A program aimed at physics high-school teachers is scheduled for Tuesday from 8:00am to 2:30pm at the Marriott; a networking lunch for students to provide a chance to meet experts in their field of interest is Wednesday from 1:00pm to 2:30pm at the convention center, and a student reception follows on Wednesday from 5:30pm to 6:30pm at the center.
