New scientists and students will be strongly encouraged to attend the Fourth International Conference on Borate Glasses, Crystals, and Melts. This meeting will take place at Coe College in Cedar Rapids, IA from July 14-18, 2002. In particular, women and minority members will be actively sought out and invited to participate in the meeting. There are many recent developments within the field that will be addressed including: new variations of spectroscopic techniques that are capable of probing the intermediate range order in borate glasses, novel preparation techniques, reports of new non-oxide boron-containing glasses and crystals, industrial uses of borates, improvements in computer modeling of atomic structure, and recent advances in out knowledge of related crystalline compounds. %%%The most important aspect of this project will be the very strong student participation in this meeting, at both the undergraduate and graduate levels. We think our approach is justified because it will result in: a much stronger than usual involvement of students at a professional meeting, more scientific interactions between students from different research groups, and feedback to those who make presentations from an excellent cross-section of experienced scientists in the field. A critical mass of 50 to 75 students will encourage their full participation in the conference. Several discussion sessions targeting students and new scientists will be scheduled. We believe this approach may serve as a model for student and new scientist participation in scientific conferences in the future. ***

新的科学家和学生将强烈鼓励参加第四届国际会议硼酸盐玻璃，晶体和熔体。 这次会议将于2002年7月14日至18日在爱荷华州锡达拉皮兹的科学院举行。 特别是，将积极寻求和邀请妇女和少数民族成员参加会议。 有许多最新的发展领域内，将解决包括：新的变化的光谱技术，能够探测硼酸盐玻璃，新的制备技术，新的非氧化物含硼玻璃和晶体的报告，硼酸盐的工业用途，在计算机模拟原子结构的改进，以及最近的进展，在知识的相关晶体化合物的中程秩序。 这个项目最重要的方面将是非常强烈的学生参与这次会议，在本科生和研究生的水平。 我们认为我们的方法是合理的，因为它将导致：学生在专业会议上的参与比平常更强，来自不同研究小组的学生之间的互动更科学，以及向那些来自该领域经验丰富的科学家的优秀横截面的演讲者提供反馈。 50至75名学生的临界质量将鼓励他们充分参与会议。 将安排针对学生和新科学家的几次讨论会。 我们相信这种方法可以作为学生和新科学家参与未来科学会议的模式。***
