APS March Meeting in Los Angeles
DOI: 10.1063/1.2405567
The American Physical Society’s annual March Meeting takes place in sunny (hopefully) southern California this year, at the Los Angeles Convention Center from 21 to 25 March. This is the largest physics meeting of the year, and with approximately 6500 participants, more than 90 invited sessions, and 550 contributed sessions, this year’s gathering should live up to that billing. The meeting will also include a job fair, an exhibit hall, and a souvenir store.
The society’s headquarters hotel, the Westin Bonaventure, is located in downtown Los Angeles, as are several other hotels that will handle overflow. Despite the city’s car-culture reputation, the convention center is a short walk from some of the hotels APS will be using, and buses will be provided between the center and those hotels that are not within walking distance.
Participating APS units include the divisions of condensed matter physics, materials physics, polymer physics, chemical physics, biological physics, fluid dynamics, laser science, computational physics, and atomic, molecular, and optical physics. Also taking part are the society’s topical groups on instrument and measurement science, magnetism and applications, shock compression of condensed matter, statistical and nonlinear physics, quantum information, and concepts and computation, as well as APS’s forums on industrial and applied physics, physics and society, history of physics, international physics, education, and graduate student affairs.
Before the official meeting gets under way, a two-day short course on charged polymers will be held on Saturday, 19 March and Sunday, 20 March. Half-day tutorials on Sunday will cover a variety of topics, including acoustics and the perception and reproduction of music, the biophysics of sensing and learning, spintronics, computational nanoscience, jamming in soft condensed matter, biological physics opportunities in sensing and neurobiology, molecular magnets, and electronic transport in carbon nanotube devices.
Sunday also features several special programs, including workshops on introductory physics teaching and professional skills development for women physicists, the special plenary session of the International Conference on Computational Physics, and a workshop and reunion for faculty. Other reunions hosted by universities, laboratories, and companies will take place throughout the week.
Some highlights include “Spinning Science for the Public: How to Write for the Masses” (Sunday, 20 March, 2:30 to 4pm, Convention Center, Room 409A), and a session on refereeing (Wednesday, 23 March, 10 to 11:30am, Convention Center, Room 518). A series of talks on “Paradigm Shifts: Breakthroughs and Advances That Shaped Our Field” will take place on Monday, 21 March from 8 to 10pm (Convention Center, Room 152). This session is sponsored by the Division on Condensed Matter Physics and features Carlos Bustamante (University of California, Berkeley), Andrea Ghez (UCLA), Barry C. Barish (Caltech), and Robert Laughlin (Stanford University).
The APS journal editors panel discussion is Tuesday, 22 March from 2:30 to 3:30pm at the convention center. Immediately afterward, you can meet the editors of AIP and APS from 3:30 to 5:30pm. The following AIP journals will be represented: Applied Physics Letters, Chaos , the Journal of Applied Physics , the Journal of Chemical Physics , and Review of Scientific Instruments. Editors will also be on hand from Physical Review B, Physical Review E, Physical Review Focus, and Physical Review Letters.
All work and no play isn’t good for anyone, and this year’s APS March Meeting includes plenty of social activities. On Monday, 21 March, the Companion’s Welcome Breakfast will be held from 8:30 to 10am at the Westin Bonaventure. The official welcome reception takes place that evening from 6:30 to 7:45pm in the Petree Ballroom at the convention center. Immediately preceding that is the awards program. (See the story on page 81.) The annual reception hosted by the committee on the status of women in physics and the committee on minorities in physics is scheduled for 6 to 7:30pm on Wednesday, 23 March at the Westin Bonaventure.
Several events in honor of the World Year of Physics 2005 and Albert Einstein’s “miracle year” have been planned for the meeting. Nobel laureate Douglas Osheroff (Stanford) will give a special WYP public lecture on Tuesday, 22 March at 7:30pm in the Catalina Ballroom at the Westin Bonaventure.
A special session entitled “Einstein and Condensed Matter” is scheduled for Wednesday, 23 March from 7:30 to 9pm at the Westin Bonaventure. The chair of the session is APS President Marvin Cohen (UC Berkeley), and the speakers are Alex Zettl (UC Berkeley), Moses H. W. Chan (Pennsylvania State University), and Zhi-Xun Shen (Stanford).
Other WYP-related sessions include “Albert Einstein and Social Responsibility” sponsored by the Forum on Physics and Society, and two “Einstein and Friends” sessions hosted by the Forum on the History of Physics and the Statistical and Nonlinear Topical Group.
The APS department of education and outreach is sponsoring a High School Physics Teachers’ Day for teachers in the Los Angeles area. This takes place on Tuesday, 22 March from 8:30am to 3:45pm at the Westin Bonaventure, and will include a welcoming breakfast, the opportunity to network with fellow teachers, research talks on cutting-edge physics, hands-on workshops of classroom activities, and lunch with a physicist. A Students Lunch with the Experts will take place from 1 to 2:30pm on Wednesday, 23 March at the convention center.
The hours of the three-day job fair are Monday, 21 March and Tuesday, 22 March from 10am to 5pm, and Wednesday, 23 March from 10am to 4pm. The exhibit hall, located in the convention center, will feature physics-related books, equipment, products, services, and software. It will be open on Monday, 21 March and Tuesday, 22 March from 10am to 5pm, and on Wednesday, 23 March from 10am to 4pm. The APS souvenir store in the main lobby of the convention center will be open on Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday from 9:30am to 5pm, and on Thursday from 9:30am to 1pm. Stop by and shop for bumper stickers, t-shirts, World Year of Physics items, and other official mementos of APS’s 2005 March Meeting.
