SPECIAL SESSIONS
http://molspect.chemistry.ohio-state.edu/symposium/SpecSess.html
For the 66th Symposium, Robert Field, MIT, is organizing a
mini-symposium entitled, “Spectroscopic Perturbations: Molecules
Behaving Badly?” Spectroscopic perturbations are windows onto unknown or
unexpected classes of states and can reveal intramolecular dynamics.
This mini-symposium will cover both experimental observation and
theoretical interpretation of perturbations. Invited speakers will be
Mark Child, Oxford University; Robert Field, MIT; and Anthony Merer,
Academia Sinica. A second mini-symposium is being organized by Eric
Herbst, The Ohio State University on the subject of “The THz Cosmos.”
This mini-symposium will feature new spectroscopic studies of the
interstellar medium in the far-infrared obtained with the Herschel Space
Observatory and the Stratospheric Observatory for Infrared Astronomy
(SOFIA). Invited talks for this mini-symposium will be given by Edwin
Bergin, University of Michigan and Maryvonne Gerin, Ecole Normale
Superieure. A third mini-symposium is being organized by Trevor Sears,
Brookhaven National Laboratory and Neil Shafer-Ray, University of
Oklahoma, entitled “Molecular Spectroscopy in Support of Fundamental
Physics.” A mini-symposium focused on molecular spectroscopy that probes
the fundamental underpinnings of physics, including parity and
time-reversal violations and the universality of fundamental constants.
Invited speakers will be David DeMille, Yale University and Jens-Uwe
Grabow, Leibniz-Universitat Hannover. A session on theory is being
organized by Anne McCoy, John Herbert, and Russell Pitzer, Ohio State
University, featuring an invited talk by Kirk Peterson, Washington State
University.

SPONSORSHIP
http://molspect.chemistry.ohio-state.edu/symposium/Sponsors.html
We are pleased to announce our anticipated sponsorship for the 66th
Symposium. Principal funding will come from the Army Office of Research
(ARO). We are most grateful to ARO for their continued support. We
anticipate corporate and individual sponsorships as in the past. For an
updated list of these sponsors, please consult the Symposium website.
RAO PRIZE
http://molspect.chemistry.ohio-state.edu/symposium/RaoPrize.html
The three Rao Prizes for the most outstanding student talks at the 2010
meeting will be presented. The winners are Hui-Ling Han, National Chiao
Tung University; Samantha Horvath, The Ohio State University; Solveig
Gaarn Olesen, University of Copenhagen. The Rao Prize was created by a
group of spectroscopists who, as graduate students, benefitted from the
emphasis on graduate student participation, which has been a unique
characteristic of the Symposium. This year three more Rao Prizes will be
awarded. In order to be eligible for the Rao Prize, a student must (i)
be primary author of the work being presented; (ii) be the actual
presenter of the talk; (iii) never have competed for the Rao Prize prior
to this year; and (iv) not have completed a Ph.D. thesis prior to March
1, 2011.
If a student wishes to compete for the Rao Prize, he or she should i)
indicate this in the comment area of the abstract (due by March 1) for
the talk they wish to be judged and ii) have a letter or email
(addressed to Terry A. Miller, [log in to unmask])
sent from the research supervisor certifying that the student meets all
four of the above requirements.
The award will be administered by a Prize Committee chaired by Yunjie
Xu, University of Alberta, and comprised of Kevin Lehmann, University of
Virginia, John Muenter, University of Rochester, Brooks Pate, University
of Virginia, Douglas Petkie, Wright State University, and Tim Zwier,
Purdue University. Any questions or suggestions about the Prize should
be addressed to the Committee. Anyone (especially post-docs) willing to
serve on a panel of judges should contact Yunjie Xu ([log in to unmask]).
PICNIC The Symposium picnic will be held on Wednesday evening of the
conference. The cost of the picnic is included in your registration (at
below cost to students), so that all may attend the event. The Coblentz
Society is the host for refreshments before the picnic starting at 7:30pm.
LIABILITY The Symposium fees DO NOT include provisions for the insurance
of participants against personal injuries, sickness, theft or property
damage. Participants and companions are advised to take whatever
insurance they consider necessary. Neither the Symposium executive
committee, its sponsors, nor individual committee members assume any
responsibility for loss, injury, sickness, or damages to persons or
belongings, however caused.
Preregistration is highly encouraged with a special rate for those
prepaying on or before May 15, 2011.
Registration Type Prepaying After May 15 (circle one)
Regular* $100 $125
Student* $ 35 $ 50
*NOTE: The registration fee includes the cost (students subsidized) of
the picnic on Wednesday. Tickets for accompanying persons may be
purchased for $25 each.
Dormitory Reservation
The Ohio State Dormitories have a limited number of rooms. The
prepayment and regular dormitory rates as indicated below are per person
per night. Submitting an abstract does NOT preregister you.
(Indicate one) Prepayment Regular (after May 15)
Single room $60.00 $62.00
Double room $28.00 $30.00
Graduate students, (dbl room) $27.00 $29.00
