Support for the 2017 Canadian-American-Mexican Graduate Student Physics Conference in Washington, DC

该奖项提供支持美国物理学会（APS）的会议规划和学生旅行参加联合加拿大，美国和墨西哥物理学会的研究生会议（CAM2017），将于2017年8月17日至19日在华盛顿，华盛顿特区举行。这是一个机会，物理研究生开始网络跨越国界。在整个会议期间，学生将与国际同行和教授在正式和非正式环境中讨论当前的研究。CAM2017研讨会是专为物理学所有领域的研究生设计的。全体会议将由著名科学家在其子学科，包括粒子物理，天体物理学和核物理，凝聚态物理，生物物理，光学，原子物理，纳米科学，计算物理和材料物理。全体会议之后将由学生贡献的谈话。将有两个小组讨论，题为“超越边界：地理，学科生涯”和“超越边界：个人和社会”突出CAM 2017的目标，以培养学生的能力，超越物理边界。一个学生海报会议将完善科学计划。所有参加的学生将在贡献的演讲或海报会议中展示他们的研究。

This award provides support to the American Physical Society (APS) for conference planning and student travel to participate in the joint Canadian, US, and Mexican physical societies' graduate student conference (CAM2017), to be held in in Washington, D.C. from August 17-19, 2017. This is an opportunity for physics graduate students to begin networking across borders. Throughout the conference, students will discuss current research in both formal and informal settings with international peers and professors. The CAM2017 workshop is designed for and by graduate students in all areas of physics. Plenary sessions will be given by well-known scientists in their sub-disciplines including Particle Physics, Astrophysics and Nuclear Physics, Condensed Matter Physics, Biophysics, Optics, Atomic Physics, Nanoscience, Computational Physics, and Materials Physics. The plenary sessions will be followed by contributed talks from the students. There will be two panel discussions titled "Transcending Boundaries: Geographical, Disciplinary & Career" and "Transcending Boundaries: Personal and Societal" highlighting CAM2017s goal to foster student ability to transcend boundaries in physics. A student poster session will round out the scientific program. All students who attend will present their research in either a contributed talk or poster session.
