The 21st Polymer Physics Gordon Conference will take place at Salve Regina in Newport, RI, the week of June 29th to July 4th, 2008. The Conference which first ran in 1969 has remained a key meeting in the area of polymer physics by ensuring that each program is filled with top speakers presenting their most current results in areas both new and enduring. The 2008 Conference will combine breadth and depth, with talks by experimentalists and theoreticians representing academia, national labs and industry. While the talks are by invitation only, all attendees are welcome to present posters. The tradition of Polymer Physics has been that even the very well-known scientists who are attending (without being invited speakers) are thoroughly involved in the poster sessions. It is worth noting that the diverse group of national and international speakers and session chairs includes a record number of women participants, lively and scientifically stimulating at Salve Regina this summer.%%%The modest grant being requested here from the National Science Foundation will enable support for the attendance of scientists who are just starting their independent careers in this field. A critical requirement in keeping a field vibrant and productive is that it continue to attract bright and committed new members. Once such individuals become invested in a research area it is equally important to help them make connections with established members. The Gordon Conference offers unique opportunities in this regard. It runs every two years, which allows for 'repeated exposure;' the daily routine makes one-on-one personal interactions a priority, in that talks are scheduled in the morning and after dinner, with the whole afternoon open for scientific-social interactions. It is anticipated that participation in the upcoming Polymer Physics Gordon Conference will have a significant impact on its junior attendees. This will come about because of the ideas which will be sparked or further developed as a result of insights and dialogue which take place during the meeting, as well as from the continuing scientific interactions and friendships which are formed and nourished as the week progresses. The Polymer Physics community will be broadened and its future will be strengthened through the NSF support requested here.

第21届聚合物物理戈登会议将于2008年6月29日至7月4日在纽波特的索尔维里贾纳举行。该会议于1969年首次举办，一直是聚合物物理领域的重要会议，确保每个项目都有顶级演讲者展示他们在新领域和持久领域的最新成果。2008年的会议将结合广度和深度，由代表学术界、国家实验室和工业界的实验学家和理论家进行会谈。虽然讲座只接受邀请，但欢迎所有与会者提交海报。聚合物物理学的传统是，即使是非常知名的科学家（没有被邀请演讲）也会完全参与到海报会议中。值得注意的是，今年夏天，在Salve Regina，来自国内和国际的不同群体的演讲者和会议主席包括创纪录数量的女性参与者，充满活力和科学刺激。我们向美国国家科学基金会申请的小额资助将用于支持刚刚开始在这一领域独立事业的科学家出席会议。保持一个领域的活力和生产力的一个关键要求是它继续吸引聪明和忠诚的新成员。一旦这些人投入到一个研究领域，帮助他们与已有的成员建立联系也同样重要。戈登会议在这方面提供了独特的机会。它每两年运行一次，允许“重复暴露”；在日常生活中，一对一的个人互动是重中之重，谈话安排在上午和晚餐后，整个下午都用来进行科学社交互动。预计参加即将举行的聚合物物理戈登会议将对其初级与会者产生重大影响。这是因为会议期间的见解和对话将激发或进一步发展的想法，以及随着一周的进展而形成和滋养的持续的科学互动和友谊。聚合物物理社区将被扩大，它的未来将通过NSF在这里请求的支持得到加强。
