NON-TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION: A team of six graduate students from the Department of Chemistry at the University of Florida is organizing a symposium at the 255th National Meeting of the American Chemical Society (ACS) entitled, ?Finding Our Place at the Bottom: A Symposium in Memory of Richard Feynman.? The late Richard Feynman was a titanic figure in theoretical physics who, in the 1950s, envisioned a future in which materials could be produced and manipulated on a sub-microscopic and even atomic scale. In the year in which Prof. Feynman would have turned 100, this symposium celebrates the pioneering collaborations between chemists, physicists, and engineers that have made such nanomaterials commonplace. The symposium features a series of twelve lectures from preeminent faculty, industry scientists, and government researchers in the field of nanoscience, including topics such as solar energy harvesting, atom-by-atom manipulation, and improving sustainable materials. As this symposium is fully student-organized, the organizers are receiving invaluable training and networking opportunities that will aid them in their future careers. In addition, travel funding for members of underrepresented groups in the sciences is being offered to enable their access to this symposium (scheduled on March 20) and the ACS Meeting as a whole.TECHNICAL DETAILS: Nanoscience has emerged as one of the dominant fields of research in the 21st century, largely due to advances in theoretical understanding of nanomaterials and improved synthetic techniques by which they are realized. The Graduate Student Symposium at the 255th ACS National Meeting celebrates the multidisciplinary nature of nanoscience with the goal of educating and inspiring attendees. The graduate student organizers operate with minimal faculty involvement, so they are also receiving significant experience in symposium logistics, advertising, and fundraising.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

非技术描述：来自佛罗里达大学化学系的一个由六名研究生组成的小组正在美国化学学会（ACS）第255届全国会议上组织一个题为“？在底层找到我们的位置：纪念理查德·费曼的研讨会。已故的理查德·费曼（Richard Feynman）是理论物理学中的一位巨人，他在20世纪50年代设想了一个未来，在这个未来中，材料可以在亚微观甚至原子尺度上生产和操纵。在费曼教授即将年满100岁的那一年，这次研讨会庆祝化学家，物理学家和工程师之间的开创性合作，使这种纳米材料变得司空见惯。研讨会的特点是一系列的12个讲座，来自杰出的教师，行业科学家和政府研究人员在纳米科学领域，包括太阳能收集，原子的原子操纵和改善可持续材料等主题。由于这次研讨会是完全由学生组织的，组织者正在接受宝贵的培训和网络机会，这将有助于他们在未来的职业生涯。此外，还为科学界代表性不足的团体的成员提供旅费，使他们能够参加这次研讨会（定于3月20日举行）和整个加勒比国家联盟会议。技术支持：纳米科学已成为21世纪世纪的主要研究领域之一，这主要是由于对纳米材料的理论认识和改进合成技术的进步。第255届ACS全国会议的研究生研讨会庆祝纳米科学的多学科性质，目的是教育和激励与会者。研究生组织者在最少的教师参与下运作，因此他们在研讨会后勤，广告和筹款方面也获得了丰富的经验。这个奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并被认为值得通过使用基金会的智力价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估来支持。
