Montreal Hosts the APS March Meeting
DOI: 10.1063/1.1712504
The American Physical Society heads north to Canada for its annual March meeting, held this year in cooperation with the Canadian Association of Physicists (CAP), at the Palais des Congrès de Montréal—the city’s convention center—from Saturday, 20 March, through Friday, 26 March.
More than 5000 physicists are expected to attend the typically chock-full meeting, where researchers will present approximately 5500 papers at more than 90 invited and 550 contributed paper and poster sessions. The APS divisions, groups, and forums represented reflect the broad range of topics that will be explored. The divisions that are taking part in the meeting are those 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 participating are the society’s topical groups on instrument and measurement science, magnetism and its applications, shock compression of condensed matter, and statistical and nonlinear physics, as well as the APS forums on industrial and applied physics (FIAP), physics and society, history of physics, international physics, education, and graduate student affairs.
In addition to the customary technical program that will fill most of the busy hours of the meeting, APS has arranged several special sessions. Topics that will be addressed include research in the hydrogen economy and the impact of high-end computing on physics research.
Another special session will highlight talks by two of the three winners of the 2003 Nobel Prize in Physics—Alexei Abrikosov and Anthony Leggett. They shared the prize with Vitaly Ginzburg for “pioneering contributions to the theory of superconductors and superfluids” (see Physics Today, December 2003, page 21 ).
Attendees who arrive on or before Sunday, 21 March, can enroll in a number of tutorials and workshops that are scheduled for the weekend before the meeting’s official start on Monday, 22 March. Those who are interested in delving deeper into rheology and the dynamics of polymers and complex fluids can take the short course being offered by the division of polymer physics in two all-day sessions on Saturday and Sunday from 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM.
APS has also planned eight half-day tutorials for Sunday. The morning tutorials, scheduled from 8:30 AM to 12:30 PM, will address the dynamics of magnetotransport, computational cell biology, organic and inorganic semiconductor quantum dots, and the theory and applications of quantum information science. The afternoon tutorials (1:30–5:30 PM) will cover spintronics, opportunities in biological physics, terahertz frequency spectroscopy at low temperatures, and Java programming using the Open Source Physics Library.
By popular demand, the APS Committee on the Status of Women in Physics (CSWP) is offering its second workshop on “Survival Skills for Successful Women Physicists.” This session is intended to offer career advice and instruction for women scientists in early to midcareer. The workshop will feature both a panel of women physicists who will speak on a variety of related topics and a professional trainer who will lead an interactive discussion of negotiating strategies. This session is scheduled for Sunday from 1:30 to 5:45 PM at the Queen Elizabeth Hotel in downtown Montreal. A reception, cosponsored with the Committee on Minorities in Physics and the Committee on Careers and Professional Development, will follow.
Another workshop offering information on career development for physicists is planned for Sunday from 3:00 to 6:00 PM. The location of this workshop, free for all meeting attendees, had not been announced as of press time.
APS will host the meeting welcome reception at the convention center on Monday, beginning at 6:30 PM. The reception follows the 5:15 PM awards ceremony, at which a number of the society’s prizes, awards, and medals will be bestowed. (See the accompanying story on page 94.)
Several more special events will round out the nontechnical side of the meeting. An example is a high-school physics teachers’ day, a workshop produced by CAP with support from APS, that will be presented simultaneously in French and English from 8:30 AM to 5:00 PM on Monday at the Queen Elizabeth Hotel.
For those who want an early start on Tuesday, 23 March, a networking breakfast sponsored jointly by CSWP and FIAP will take place at the Queen Elizabeth Hotel from 7:00 to 9:00 AM. This gathering will feature an invited speaker and opportunities for informal discussion and networking.
Participants can join editors from Physical Review B, Physical Review E, and Physical Review Letters to exchange ideas in a panel discussion format on Tuesday, from 3:30 to 5:30 PM at the convention center.
Students attending the APS meeting are invited to an informal reception on Tuesday from 5:30 to 6:30 PM that will spotlight a physics trivia quiz with prizes. Students can also sign up for an opportunity to share lunch and conversation with an expert in selected topics of interest on Wednesday, 24 March, from 12:30 to 2:00 PM.
Marcel LeBlanc, professor emeritus of physics at the University of Ottawa, will present his renowned Cryo-Magic science show at the convention center on Thursday, 25 March, from 5:30 to 6:30 PM.
An especially important part of the meeting is the exhibition show. Over three days, the latest in physics-related products, services, equipment, software, books, and more will be on display at the convention center. The show hours are Monday and Tuesday from 10:00 AM to 5:00 PM and Wednesday from 10:00 am to 4:00 PM.
