Important Reminders

GIMS Business Meeting Agenda Items

One of the areas we will be discussing is continued work on our GIMS focus areas as outlined here. We are looking for support in creating GIMS focus sessions on these and other topic areas. Please bring ideas to the meeting for topic areas as well as any other way to make GIMS even better for the upcoming year!

New GIMS committees that are focused on specialized areas of instrumentation are being formed for these instrumental areas (chairs are listed):

• Andreas Mandelis: acoustics, acousto-optics, photoacoustics
• Joseph Stroscio: scanning probes, STM, AFM
• Robert Duncan: cryogenic instrumentation, thermometry
• Albert Macrander: synchrotron radiation instrumentation

Each committee should:

i) Submit a Call for Papers for a focused session at subsequent March Meetings, and recruit speakers to fill out a reasonably full session. This activity is to be coordinated with the GIMS chair-elect for that particular year. (The chair-elect is always the program chair. For the March 2007 meeting the chair-elect is Carolyn MacDonald, SUNY Albany). An invited speaker slot can be expected for each focused session.

ii) Submit the paperwork to propose a candidate for APS fellowship under the auspices of GIMS.

These activities will start up for the March 2007 meeting in Denver. The above list is not meant to be exhaustive.
