Support of Junior Scientists to Participate in the 2008 Gordon Conference on Nuclear Chemistry, New London, NH, June 2008

该奖项为年轻的科学家-博士后和学生-参加2008年核化学戈登研究会议（NCGRC）提供支持。NCGRC的一个主要目标是为国际核科学家提供一个独特的论坛，在这个论坛上可以介绍、广泛讨论和批评该领域的最新发展和成果。今年的议程遵循了以下悠久传统：（i）促进对该领域主要科学问题的批判性讨论，（ii）鼓励对未来研究提出新的和解释性的想法，（iii）确保讨论促进经验丰富的科学家，年轻科学家和学生之间的积极和开放的互动。这些目标将通过该领域大量领导人（包括国际公认的资深科学家）以及研究生和应届毕业生中反映的年轻和冉冉升起的新星的参与来实现。年轻科学家参与NCGRC对于核科学的持续活力和人力需求至关重要。因此，聪明和有前途的博士后研究人员和研究生被选中参加，并被鼓励[在几个方面]参加并提出他们的想法。他们的参与无疑将为他们提供独特和广泛的接触领导者在他们的领域，使他们接触到新的研究机会和技术，并帮助他们准备的领导角色，他们无疑将承担在未来。NCGRC的计划包括各种青年科学家群体的充分参与，包括代表性不足的群体。

This award provides support for junior scientists - postdocs and students - to participate in the 2008 Nuclear Chemistry Gordon Research Conference (NCGRC). A primary objective of the NCGRC is to provide the international community of nuclear scientists with a unique forum where the most recent developments and results in the field can be presented, extensively discussed and criticized. This years agenda follows the long tradition of (i) promoting critical discussions of the primary scientific issues in the field, (ii) encouraging new and explaratory ideas for future research, (iii) ensuring that discussions facilitate vigorous and open interactions between seasoned scientists, junior scientists and students. These goals will be achieved via the participation of a significant number of the leaders in this field, (including internationally recognized senior scientists) and the young and rising stars reflected in the population of graduate students and recent graduates. The participation of younger scientists in the NCGRC is crucial to the continued vitality and manpower needs of nuclear science. Therefore, bright and promising postdoctoral researchers and graduate students have been selected for participation and are being encouraged [on several fronts] to attend and present their ideas. Their participation will undoubtedly provide them with unique and extensive access to the leaders in their field, expose them to new research opportunities and techniques and help prepare them for the leadership roles they will undoubtedly assume in the future. The program of the NCGRC includes the full participation of a diverse group of young scientists including underrepresented groups.
