Dear Colleagues: You and your associates are invited to the 58th annual conference of the Western Spectroscopy Association, chaired by Judy Kim and scheduled for January 19-21, 2011. The 58th conference program includes nine invited lectures, seven contributed lectures, and two poster sessions. Registration and complete information are available at http://www.westernspectroscopy.org. The conference is held at the Asilomar Conference Center, which is located on the spectacular Monterey Peninsula near Asilomar State Beach, California. There are many scenic and historic sites located nearby; guests are also invited to the social hours, meals, and banquet. The Western Spectroscopy Association meeting was begun in 1954 by G.C. Pimentel, W. C. Merrill, J. W. Otvos, S. S. Penner, S. R. Smith, and J. C. Guffy as a regional meeting on molecular spectroscopy. In the intervening years it has developed into a forum for researchers in all kinds of spectroscopy at small colleges, larger universities, and national laboratories across the nation. Its informal setting is designed to encourage participation of students and postdoctoral associates, and its regional nature enhances the development of longer-term scientific cooperation. Registration deadline is November 30, 2010. REGISTRATION http://www.westernspectroscopy.org INVITED SPEAKERS INCLUDE: Ron Cohen, UC Berkeley Niels Damrauer, CU Boulder Terry Miller, Ohio State James Patterson, BYU Mike Tauber, UC San Diego Veronica Vaida, CU Boulder Mike Wasielewski, Northwestern Curt Wittig, USC Haw Yang, Princeton There will also be seven contributed talks chosen from submitted abstracts.
