APS March meeting to convene in Denver
DOI: 10.1063/1.2711637
The annual March Meeting of the American Physical Society takes place this year in Denver, Colorado, amid the scenic Rocky Mountains. It will run from Monday, 5 March through Friday, 9 March, with pre-sessions scheduled for Saturday, 3 March and Sunday, 4 March. Some 7000 papers will be presented at more than 90 invited sessions and 550 contributed sessions. Among the highlights of this year’s events are various tutorials and workshops, as well as meetings, social gatherings, and receptions. Specific information about all events is available at http://www.aps.org/meetings/March/index.cfm . All tutorials and many of the special workshops require preregistration.
The Colorado Convention Center, a state-of-the-art facility located in downtown Denver, will host the scientific sessions. The center is within walking distance of restaurants, shops, theaters, and museums. The nontechnical and satellite sessions will take place nearby at the headquarters hotel, the Adam’s Mark.
Pre-meeting programs include a two-day Division of Polymer Physics short course, Advances in the Use of Atomic Force Microscopy for Studies of the Physics of Macromolecular Materials, offered Saturday, 3 March through Sunday, 4 March. A range of topics will be covered, including an overview of AFM, its use for biological and synthetic systems, new advances, and the challenges involved. Several half-day tutorials on Sunday will cover nanoscale magnetism, statistical and thermal physics, quantum error correction, spintronics, quantum turbulence, the physics of graphene, and other related topics.
Two workshops also take place on Sunday, 4 March. The 4th APS Workshop on Opportunities in Biological Physics will include a discussion of new techniques in biomedicine, extensive tutorial overviews, and a lunch with the speakers. The second Sunday workshop, Professional Skills Development for Women Physicists, will cover communication skills and negotiation techniques for women physicists in industry and government.
A special field trip to the Colorado School of Mines in Golden is planned for Sunday afternoon and evening, from 3:30 to 9:00pm. Hosted by three major research universities—CSM, Colorado State University, and the University of Colorado at Boulder—the outing boasts an open house and lecture centering on research into renewable and alternative energy sources, followed by a reception and buffet.
The APS Education and Diversity department is sponsoring a High School Teachers’Day on Tuesday, 6 March, at the Adam’s Mark Hotel. This event is open, at no cost, to local physics teachers, who will attend presentations, workshops, and a lunch. The program introduces current research and presents innovative hands-on activities teachers can use in their classrooms; it serves as a social vehicle to meet other physicists, university faculty, and fellow teachers in the area.
The annual job fair will run Monday-Wednesday, 5–7 March in the Convention Center Exhibit Hall. Job seekers can network, post resumés, and interview with employers on-site, while employers can showcase their companies, advertise positions, and meet and interview prospective employees. Physics-related products, services, books, and journals will be exhibited at the annual show, which also runs from 5 to 7 March.
Numerous social activities are also planned. For companions of the attendees, a complimentary welcome breakfast will be available on Monday, 5 March, from 8:30 to 10:00am at the Adam’s Mark Hotel. The breakfast will include presentations by the Denver Metro Convention and Visitors Bureau about where to go and what to see in Denver. Monday evening from 5:30 to 6:30pm is the annual Awards Program in the Convention Center. A Welcome Reception for all attendees will follow.
On Tuesday, 6 March, from 7:30 to 9:30am, the Committee on the Status of Women in Physics and the Forum on Industrial and Applied Physics are cosponsoring a networking breakfast at the Convention Center, and they invite both men and women to participate. Tuesday afternoon will offer an opportunity to meet and talk with the editors of American Institute of Physics and APS journals at the APS Journal Editors Panel Discussion, 2:30–3:30pm, followed by a Meet-the-Editors Reception, 3:30–5:30pm, also in the Convention Center. In addition, various alumni reunions hosted by universities, laboratories, and companies are planned for the Adam’s Mark Hotel.
Tuesday evening the Convention Center is the site for a student reception, from 5:30 to 6:30pm, with refreshments and a physics trivia quiz. Students will have another opportunity to connect at the Convention Center during a complimentary box lunch on Wednesday, 7 March, 1:00–2:30pm, where they can participate in an informal discussion with an expert on a variety of topics.
Tuesday night is topped off by a Physics Sing-Along from 8:30 to 9:30pm in the Adam’s Mark Hotel. The 2006 March Meeting in Baltimore hosted the first-ever of this event, where whimsical physics lyrics are sung to popular tunes, such as last year’s “I Got Physics” sung to the tune of “I Got Rhythm” by George Gershwin. Everyone can participate, since according to last year’s promotion, no singing ability is required.
