PASI: Bioinspired Nanoscience and Molecular Machines; Bariloche, Argentina, March 2005

0418568 Michl这个由美国国家科学基金会和美国能源部共同支持的泛美高级研究院（PASI）奖将于2005年3月16日至26日在阿根廷巴塔哥尼亚圣卡洛斯德巴里洛什附近的Villa la Angostura举行，主题是“生物启发的纳米科学和分子机器”。该研究所由科罗拉多大学的约瑟夫·米歇尔博士组织，将有大约42名高级研究生和16名讲师参加。S.和拉丁美洲。 其目的是汇集两个社区进行思想交流和交叉施肥，即研究生物启发或生物机械（如发动机）的研究人员和研究人工分子转子的研究人员。 这些研究人员主要从事化学、物理或材料科学方面的工作，有些是实验性的，有些是理论或计算性的。 该研究所将为美国初级参与者提供一个机会，在拉丁美洲建立联系，同时接触纳米科学这一有前途的研究领域。 另一个积极的结果是，拉丁美洲博士后和/或学生来到美国大学并成为美国西班牙裔本科生的榜样可能会增加。 美国和拉丁美洲的初级参与者将接触到来自整个半球的一流讲师。

0418568MichlThis Pan-American Advanced Studies Institutes (PASI) award, jointly supported by the NSF and the Department of Energy (DOE), will take place at Villa la Angostura near San Carlos de Bariloche, Patagonia, Argentina on March 16 - 26, 2005 on the topic of "Bioinspired Nanoscience and Molecular Machines." Organized by Dr. Josef Michl of the University of Colorado, the institute will involve approximately 42 advanced graduate students and 16 lecturers in the field from the U. S. and Latin America. The purpose is to bring together two communities for idea exchange and cross-fertilization, namely, researchers who investigate bio-inspired or biological machinery such as motors, and those who study artificial molecular rotors. These investigators work mostly in chemistry, physics, or material science, some experimentally and some theoretically or computationally. This institute will provide an opportunity for junior U.S. participants to develop contacts in Latin America while they are exposed to this promising field of research in nanoscience. Another positive outcome is a likely increase in the Latin American post-docs and/or students who come to U.S. universities and serve as role models for U.S. Hispanic undergraduates. Both the U.S. and Latin American junior participants will be exposed to first-class lecturers from throughout the Hemisphere.
