U.S.-Latin American Workshop on Time-Resolved Spectroscopy and Photothermal Phenomena in Photochemistry, Photophysics, and Photobiology

9514402维斯美国-拉丁美洲讲习班将于1996年5月25-27日在巴西里约热内卢的联邦农村大学举行，主题是光化学、光物理和光生物学中的时间分辨实验领域的问题。受邀参与者包括来自美国9个州、波多黎各和3个南美国家的科学家。研讨会将由乔治城大学的理查德·韦斯和圣保罗大学的弗兰克·奎纳协调，美洲光化学学会顾问委员会和主席将与他们合作。此外，还将从初级教员和博士后申请者中竞争性地挑选另外两名美国参与者。研讨会的组织，包括参与者的选择，保证了美国和南美科学家之间的良性互动和建立新的长期合作的潜力。由于南美几个光化学研究实验室最近采购了设备，现在是建立油田所在位置和发展方向的基线的特别合适的时机。由于研讨会的大部分重点将放在方法学上，这也为交流正确使用尖端设备所需的实验方法提供了一个论坛。***

9514402 Weiss A U.S.-Latin American workshop will be given May 25-27, 1996 at the Universidade Federal de Rural, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil on problems in the area of time-resolved experiments in photochemistry, photophysics, and photobiology. Invited participants include scientists from 9 U.S. states, Puerto Rico, and 3 South American countries. The workshop will be coordinated by Richard Weiss from Georgetown University, and Frank Quina of the University of Sao Paulo, with the cooperation of the Inter-American Photochemical Society advisory board and president. Moreover, 2 additional U.S. participants will be selected competitively from junior faculty and post-doc applicants. The organization of the workshop, including the selection of participants, promises a healthy interaction and the potential for establishing new long-term collaborations between U.S. and South American scientists. Because of recent equipment acquisitions in several South American photochemical research laboratories, this is an especially appropriate time for establishing a baseline for where the field is and where it is going. As much of the workshop focus will be on methodology, this also provides a forum for interchange of experimental methods necessary for the proper use of the sophisticated equipment. ***
