APS March Meeting to Be Held in Indianapolis
DOI: 10.1063/1.3686691
The American Physical Society’s March meeting is always its most heavily attended, with 5000 people once again expected to flock to the gathering. This year’s meeting will be held at the Indiana Convention Center from 18 to 22 March. The sessions at the meeting will deal with a wide range of materials: superconductors, proteins, conjugated polymers, nanoclusters, semiconductors, multiferroics, magnetoresistive oxides, and more. The hot material of last year’s meeting—magnesium diboride, which had just been discovered to superconduct at 40 K—will be the subject of 70 papers in five sessions this year.
A number of tutorials and workshops have been organized for the weekend preceding the meeting. The APS division of polymer physics will sponsor a short course on glasses and the glass transition, to run from 8 AM to 5 PM on both Saturday and Sunday, 16 and 17 March. APS will also offer eight half-day tutorials on Sunday. The morning tutorials, to be held from 8:30 AM to 12:30 PM, will cover superconducting materials, spintronics, high-resolution optical microscopy in materials systems, and methods of nonlinear dynamics in cellular biophysics. The topics of the afternoon tutorials, which will run from 1:30 to 5:30 PM, are the Coulomb blockade and single-electron tunneling, business fundamentals for physicists, the application of Beowulf clusters to computing needs, and applied magnetism and information storage technology.
Also over the weekend, the APS committee oncareers and professional development has planned a workshop on preparing students for careers in industry. The workshop will begin with a poster session on Saturday evening, 16 March, and continue Sunday with a morning program of talks. Speakers include Sheila Tobias, a consultant; Charles Coffey of Vanderbilt University Medical Center; and Ed Esposito, formerly of Alcatel and now at the University of Texas at Dallas. The program will conclude with a lunchtime talk by Venkatesh Narayanamurti of Harvard University.
APS has planned a professional development seminar for Sunday, 17 March, from 8 AM to 1 PM. The seminar will deal with the management problems of the technical person in a leadership role. Also on Sunday, the committee on the status of women in physics (CSWP) will hold a half-day workshop from 1:30 to 6 PM in the Westin Hotel on survival skills for successful women physicists. CSWP and the committee on minorities will hold a dessert reception from 6 to 8 PM in the Westin. CSWP has also joined with the forum on industrial and applied physics to organize a networking breakfast from 7 to 9 AM on Monday, 18 March, in the Westin.
Several special events will complement the technical program during the week, starting bright and early Monday morning with the 5th annual 5K Run for Health from 6:30 to 7:30 AM. Runners should assemble at the convention center at 6:15 AM to be bussed to the run site. Later in the day, from 5:30 to 6:30 PM, in the Convention Center, APS will present 15 prizes and awards for outstanding research and service (see the report of these awards on page 66 of this issue). Immediately following the awards ceremony, also at the convention center, APS will host a welcome reception for meeting attendees. The reception will in turn be followed by an evening session devoted to policy issues, featuring Presidential Science Adviser John Marburger.
On Tuesday, 19 March, from 2–3 PM, the editors of Physical Review Letters and of Physical Review B and E will participate in a panel discussion about publication issues and will encourage a discussion with the audience. At 2:30 PM, APS will sponsor a Nobel Prize Session, featuring two of this year’s physics Nobelists, Wolfgang Ketterle and Carl Wieman. From 3:30 to 4:30 PM Tuesday, CSWP will sponsor a special panel discussion in honor of the 15 th anniversary of the Maria Goeppert Award. On Tuesday evening, the new forum on graduate student affairs will host a graduate student social hour from 5:30 PM to 6:30 PM. Several APS units will sponsor receptions for their members, and various universities, laboratories, and companies will be hosting reunions from 6 to 8 PM for their alumni attending the meeting.
The popular program, “Students Lunch with the Experts,” will again be held, this year from 12:30 to 2:00 PM on Wednesday, 20 March. Students can sign up for a topic of interest beginning on Monday at 1 PM at the APS registration desk.
APS will continue an exercise in public policy that proved particularly popular last year. They will have a number of computer terminals to allow meeting participants to send letters to members of Congress regarding such issues as funding and education. APS staff members will be on hand to help, and will provide sample letters on specific issues.
Meeting attendees can find out about the latest in physics-related products and services, such as laser and optical-component instruments, test and measurement equipment, scientific software, and books, at the APS Exhibit Show. The show will be held in the convention center on Monday and Tuesday from 10 AM to 5 PM and on Wednesday from 10 AM to 4 PM.
APS will maintain an employment center at the meeting, affording the opportunity for prospective candidates and employers to meet one another. The center hours are 8 AM to 5 PM on Monday and Tuesday and 8 AM to 1 PM on Wednesday.
