2012 High Pressure, Research at GRC/GRS; GRS: June 23-24, 2012 - GRC: June 24 - 29, 2012; University of New England; Biddeford, ME

NSF基金将用于支持青年和早期职业科学家参加2012年戈登研究会议（GRC）和戈登高压研究研讨会（Gordon Research Seminar on Research at High Pressure）（注册和旅行）。两年一次的GRC汇集了世界各地的专家和年轻科学家在广泛的领域-凝聚态物理，化学，工程，地球科学和生物学-讨论高密度材料行为的开放性问题，传播最新的理论和实验研究成果，并听取世界各地可用的最新实验设施。在其50年的历史中，2012年的会议将第一次有一个相关的戈登研究研讨会（GRS），在GRC之前立即开始，研究生和早期职业科学家可以在一个高度刺激的环境中聚集在一起讨论他们当前的研究，并与他们的同龄人建立非正式的网络。为巩固GRS与GRC的关系，GRS的四位特邀讨论领袖将在GRC第一天的“青年研究员”专题会议上发表演讲。进一步的会议将专门讨论高密度氢、新设施和新领域。GRC的形式将包括专家的正式介绍，随后将有大量时间用于提问、自由讨论和“头脑风暴”。在接近会议开始日期时，将选出最令人兴奋的海报提交，演讲者将被分配为“邀请海报”状态，并有5分钟的演讲来“宣传”他们的工作。2012年GRC将为高级研究生和博士后研究人员提供一个理想的环境，以展示和交流他们的最新思想和成果，并听取和探索高压科学的最新理论和实验方法。代表人数不足的群体的成员被招募为会议发言人，为将参加会议的年轻科学家提供榜样和潜在的导师。

NSF funds will be used to support (registration and travel) the attendance of junior and early career scientists at the 2012 Gordon Research Conference (GRC) and Gordon Research Seminar on Research at High Pressure. The biennial GRC brings together world experts and young scientists in a broad range of fields - condensed matter physics, chemistry, engineering, geoscience and biology - to discuss open questions in behaviour of materials at high density, to disseminate the latest theoretical and experimental research results, and to hear of the latest experimental facilities available around the world. For the first time in its 50-year history, the 2012 meeting will have an associated Gordon Research Seminar (GRS), beginning immediately prior to the GRC, where graduate students and early career scientists can come together in a highly-stimulating environment to discuss their current research, and build informal networks with their peers. To cement the relationship between the GRS and GRC, the four invited discussion leaders at the GRS will give talks at a special first-day GRC session devoted to "Young Investigators". Further sessions will be devoted to high-density hydrogen, new facilities, and new frontiers. The format of the GRC will include formal presentations by experts, followed by extensive time devoted to questions, free-ranging discussions and "brainstorming". A selection of the most exciting poster submissions is made close to the start date of the conference, and the presenters are allocated "Invited Poster" status, and given 5-minute presentations to "advertise" their work. The 2012 GRC will provide an ideal environment for advanced graduate students and postdoctoral researchers to present and exchange their latest ideas and results, and to hear and explore the latest theoretical and experimental methods in high-pressure science. Members of underrepresented groups have been recruited as conference speakers to provide role models and potential mentors for the young scientists who will participate.
