Topical Conference on Opportunities in Biology for Physicists II; January 30-February 1, 2004; San Diego, CA

该奖项为研究生和博士后参加即将于2004年1月30日至2月1日在圣地亚哥举行的由美国物理学会主办的专题会议“物理学家的生物学机会II”提供部分支持。这次会议的主要目标是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。在各自领域处于领先地位的物理学家和生物学家将被要求就物理学和生物学之间的五个广泛领域进行广泛的概述。此外，将有一个由年轻研究人员组成的小组，他们将讨论他们的职业生涯，特别是他们如何将他们的研究领域从物理转移到生物/物理界面。支助资金由数学和物理科学局的物理和材料研究司以及生物科学局的分子和细胞生物科学司提供。

This award provides partial support for the participation of graduate students and postdocs in the upcoming topical conference, "Opportunities in Biology for Physicists, II", sponsored by the American Physical Society in San Diego from January 30 to February 1, 2004. The conference is 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 five broad areas at the interface between physics and biology. In addition, there will be a panel of young researchers who will discuss their careers and in particular how they moved their research field from physics to the biology/physics interface. Funds for the support are provided by the Divisions of Physics and Materials Research in the Mathematical and Physical Sciences Directorate and by the Division of Molecular and Cellular Biosciences in the Biosciences Directorate.
