2017 Artificial Molecular Switches and Motors: Gordon Research Seminar (GRS)

该项目由Amar Flood教授领导，为国内研究生提供了参加2017年6月10日至11日在新罕布什尔州Holderness学院举行的戈登研究研讨会（GRS）的机会。该项目旨在促进青年科学家在分子开关和马达领域的参与和合作。对如何在分子尺度上控制运动的更好的基本理解可能会影响其他领域，如药物输送、分子尺度电子学和机器人技术。美国国家科学基金会化学学部的大分子、超分子和纳米化学项目和化学结构、动力学和机制B项目支持约30名国内学生（包括女性和代表性不足群体的成员）参加GRS的“人工分子开关和马达”研究。该GRS旨在鼓励学生参与科学会议的讨论，为学生提供一个与同龄人建立非正式网络的环境，并建立终身的工作关系。此外，学生有机会通过参与GRS的实施和规划来发展领导和组织能力。

This project, being led by Prof. Amar Flood, provides an opportunity for domestic graduate students to participate in a Gordon Research Seminar (GRS) on June 10-11, 2017 at Holderness College in New Hampshire. This project aims to promote the involvement and collaboration of young scientists in the field of molecular switches and motors. A better fundamental understanding on how to control the movement on molecular length-scales could impact other fields such as drug delivery, molecule-scale electronics, and robotics. The Macromolecular, Supramolecular and Nanochemistry Program and the Chemical Structure, Dynamics and Mechanisms B Program of the NSF Division of Chemistry support the participation of about 30 domestic students (including women and members of underrepresented groups) in the GRS on "Artificial Molecular Switches and Motors". This GRS aims to encourage students to get involved in discussions in scientific meetings, to provide an environment for students to establish informal networks with their peers, and to forge life-long working relationships. In addition, students have the opportunity to develop leadership and organization skills through the involvement in the implementation and planning of the GRS.
