A Note from the DCMP Chair
Planning for the 2013 March meeting is underway. Mark your calendars, if you have not already, for March 18-22, 2013 in Baltimore, Maryland. The highest priority for DCMP right now is the invited symposia. Nominations from DCMP membership are critical here, because all invited speakers, and all substitutes for invited speakers who decline, must come from the cohort of nominated speakers in the DCMP nominations database. Unlike other units, we in the executive committee cannot come up with our own list of speakers. The deadline for nominations is approaching, namely Tuesday September 4. Information on how to create and submit a nomination for an invited symposium, together with links with all the relevant url’s, are in this newsletter.
We will have a mid-week plenary session again next March, tentatively entitled, "Forefront Physics for Real World Problems." The newsletter describes the subject area and how you can be involved. Information on contributed talks follows that.
Upcoming deadlines involve DCMP elections and nominations for Fellow, and the deadlines, information, and url’s are all in this newsletter as well.
DCMP has been involved in a number of other activities, such as seeking additional funding for the Buckley Prize, discussing implementing a travel fund for the March meeting, and, continuing from last year, a possible update of the DCMP name. All these will be developing over the fall, and we will have updates on these and other matters, either in a fall newsletter or the winter.
