Topical Conference on Opportunities in Biology for Physicists, September 27-29, 2002, Boston, MA

该奖项为将于2002年9月27日至29日在波士顿举行的题为“物理学家的生物学机会”的专题会议提供部分支持。会议将主要针对那些正在考虑将物理学方法应用于生物学主题的物理学研究生和博士后。物理学家和生物学家谁是在各自领域的领导者将被要求在物理学和生物学之间的接口给选定领域的广泛概述。此外，还将讨论如何进入学科之间的接口。 支持由物理司和多学科活动办公室在MPS董事会联合提供。

This award provides partial support for a topical conference entitled "Opportunities in Biology for Physicists", to be held in Boston on September 27-29, 2002. The conference will be aimed predominantly at graduate students and postdocs in physics who are considering applying the methods of physics to biological topics. Physicists and biologists who are leaders in their fields will be asked to give broad overviews of selected areas at the interface between physics and biology. In addition, there will be talks on the "how to" of moving into the interface between the disciplines. Support is provided jointly by the Physics Division and by the Office of Multidisciplinary Activities in the MPS Directorate.
