Just found this conference which started on Monday and terminates today is being live streamed here. The theme this year is “Understanding and Enabling the Search for Life on Worlds Near and Far.” The program may remain available for some time after the conference closes.

The 6th Annual International Academy of Astronautics Conference on Planetary Defense ended this past Friday. I watched about half of the presentations. I have little astronomy background but was interested in what was being done about NEO detection, characterization effects and mitigation...

If you have the time to watch what I have seen today is very interesting. Discussions on detecting a dealing with possible hazardous asteroids. https://sservi.nasa.gov/event/2019-iaa-planetary-defense-conference-live-stream/ Going on now Monday 5:15 pm EST

In anyone is interested, here are the upcoming AAPT meetings. I just got an email for a call for papers for the Provo meeting. https://www.aapt.org/conferences/call4papers.cfm 2019 Summer Meeting, July 20-24 (Utah Valley Convention Center, Provo, Utah) 2020 Winter Meeting, January 18-21...

Is anyone attending the AAPT SU18 conference in Washington, DC? I am, and I have signed up for the LabEscape (I guess we need to solve a mystery to 'escape from the lab'), but need 6 people in the group to play this game. If you are going and interested in taking part in this cool puzzle game...

This 54 page review article from a September 2017 conference in Portugal is a good starting point for people wanting an overall summary of the state of BSM physics theories that is reasonably up to date, and may suggest questions about specific theories that deserve more attention in this forum...

Hi all I'm not really sure where to post this. I just wanted to ask what software do you use, or would you recommend, for making a physics poster for an academic conference (physics)? I'd go with PowerPoint + latex plug-in because I've used that a ton before, but maybe there are better ways to...

I just found out about the lectures, are there any interesting or profound ones. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCFeW8O-DWElfT436yuivT6g/videos

The AAPT Winter Meeting in Atlanta ( https://www.aapt.org/Conferences/wm2017/ ) is going on now. Unfortunately, this meeting was scheduled for now [in the middle of the semester], rather than its usual time in January [during my break]. So, I wasn't able to make it. However, the website for the...

I have done a fundamental research about relativity but i can't find right journal or conference. can anyone help me?

Just thought I'd ask again (and again)... (It'll be my first MAA meeting.) https://www.aapt.org/Conferences/sm2016/ http://www.maa.org/meetings/mathfest The upcoming AAPT conferences are listed at https://www.aapt.org/Conferences/ 2017 Winter Meeting, February 18-21 (Atlanta, Georgia) 2017...

20 videos from last summer's conference have been posted: http://www.nordita.org/video/index.php?ev=hrad2015 For example here is Rovelli's 39 minute talk on a solution of GR which allows tunneling of BH to WH and calculating time and amplitudes for transition of collapse to explosion...

I have been asked by my supervisor to submit an abstract to a conference with a view to making a poster for the event. But, I need a source of funding i.e. travel expenses etc is anyone on here aware on how I would find a source? I am in the UK. Thanks for any advice / suggestions.

I am a freshly graduated engineering student and am currently writing my first CV. At the end of my studies I attended one conference as a research paper author and another one as a guest lecturer on the same topic as the previous conference. I suppose both are important to be included in a CV...

Press Conference on Major Discovery -- primordial B modes? Anyone have more information on this? Any speculation? http://www.spaceref.com/news/viewpr.html?pid=42751

I have just heard some good news that I will get funds to join a conference/meeting/workshop. This event must be held until the end of March. I am interested in any event on nuclear/high energy physics. Preferably I would like it to be on intrumentation/detectors but there is a flexibility...

Hi! I am currently trying to find a good Active Noise Cancellation System for a conference room that we are currently designing. The room is 26' l x 14'-8" w x 9' h. One long wall and one short wall are made out of STC 55 gypsum board and have acoustic wall panels; the other short wall is...

I'm unsure about the appropriate location for this thread, so please move this topic, if necessary. I'm trying to add conference proceedings to my BibTex database, but I can't manage to get it working. If I use @CONFERENCE or @INPROCEEDINGS, the title of the paper will not be italicized...

I thought this was worth sharing, filmed at an AAS conference: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XTvajOQ_xak Both hilarious and a little sad.

I am attending a condensed matter, BEC, superfluid related conference. I found though I work in this area but not continuously, I can hardly understand what people are talking about and what people are interested in. This let me feel that I am wasting my time in the conference room. The topics...

So I just started college as a freshman and there will be a nice astrophysics conference next week. I'd like to go, but I'm not sure about how complex these conferences are. I'm able to get most of concepts to a low, media-explained level, but I'm afraid I couldn't be able to get MOST of the...

I just noticed this has been announced by ESA, maybe its old news, so apologies if it is; but it looks like we have a date for the first cosmological data release of PLanck http://congrexprojects.com/13a11 2-5 April 2013 "The objective of the conference is to present and discuss the...

Call for papers. This conference is scheduled for the week of Feb 24 - Mar 3, 2013. We need speakers on the following topics. Solar activity. Oceanic activity. Wind activity (especially soft breezes) Sand activity. Inactivity.

There's an interesting conference taking place this month at the NORDITA institute for theoretical physics in Stockholm. It brings together, from a number of different areas, researchers working on various models of what was happening around the start of expansion--replacing the "singularity"...

where can i know what conference related to material science can be found? as topic

can i submit same research work (multiple submission) in two different journal and conference? after getting the final result i will keep the work either in the journal or in the conference. i have submitted the work to a journal and the review result will take a long time. in the...

(Apologies if this topic is better suited for a different forum - please move if inappropriate.) Conference proceedings are meaningless when evaluating a CV, as they are not peer reviewed. However, nearly all well regarded journals require exclusivity for the publishing of data (i.e., that it...

OK boys and girls, it's that time of year again. I put out a call for papers and got a good response. Here is the schedule. April 27 - Arrival, orientation April 28 - 8:00 am - 4:00pm: Heat flows in vegetable matter - turbo April 29 - 8:00 am - 4:00pm: Large scale smallness - micromass April 30...

Anyone else planning to attend next week?

QG 11 is a mixed conference (String, SUGRA, Loop, Noncommutative, AsymSafe, Causal...). It starts next week in Zurich. A mere three days after QG 11 is over, Strings 2011 will start in Uppsala. So the two conferences are back-to-back, suggesting comparison. Which of the two turns out more...

Greg has asked me to decide where the 6th Aruban PF conference would be held and I concluded that Aruba would be just the place. I haven't completed the schedule yet, but here is a partial one. 3/26 - morning checkin, head for the beach. 3/27 - beach 3/28 - beach 3/29 - beach 3/30 - beach 3/31...

Bee has organized two conferences on "The Experimental Search for Quantum Gravity". She is a QG phenomenologist. It's a hard and valuable field. We need to check for observable traces of different QG models. Bee and her husband Stefan run one of the best physics blogs. You might want to...

The LGM hunters have something to say! http://www.nasa.gov/home/hqnews/2010/nov/HQ_M10-167_Astrobiology.html

Pay attention on Thursday at 2pm ET! http://www.nasa.gov/home/hqnews/2010/nov/HQ_M10-167_Astrobiology.html

Didn't really know what board to put this post on, but anyway... After finishing a 10 day lab project, I'm expected to produce a 2 (possibly 3) page conference paper about it. Having never written a conference paper before I'm not too sure what to include and what not to... I have...

In one week I'll be flying to Chicago with my group to attend my first APS conference, the APS Division of Plasma Physics (DPP). This is a pretty critical moment in my academic career, as I'm a senior undergraduate in the process of applying for graduate school, and I want to make a good...

Hi. This isn't really a technical question, but here it goes. I'm filling out an application, and I have to indicate whether the conferences I have attended are institutional, national, or international. How do you distinguish these? From what I can tell, almost all conferences allow...

I have a poster conference coming up in two weeks and I am still deciding if i should go or not. First of all, i haven't really begun the poster because I've been traveling in the east coast a lot helping my family move. Secondly, the conference would mean that I would miss out on a whole...

http://www.scientificamerican.com/article.cfm?id=rummaging-for-a-final-theory I cannot see anything new at all there. I hope other people here can help me see something relevant here. I found this while checking Garrett's twitter.

While on a conference call, I learned a new word: cross-collaboration. Neat, huh? I almost spit-up my coffee. My boss and I had a good chuckle, while on mute, and it wasn't until an hour or so later that it actually began to really irritate me. This person, who probably makes a nauseatingly...

This is a call for participants in the 5th Aruban PF conference. A limited number of beach chairs have been reserved for this year's conference on one happy island. This is a tax-payer funded all-expenses paid trip. That means that I, the tax-payer, will fund the trip and pay all expenses for...

For me the most exciting talk, with the most new content, was by Vincent Rivasseau. He is at Orsay. That means the top Paris center for physics theory. We should get some slight acquaintance with the person, as well as his current research. http://www.rivasseau.com/index.html Born in 1955...
