The 2013 Gordon Research Conference on Nuclear Chemistry (GRC-NC) will be held at Colby Sawyer College, New London, New Hampshire, June 9 - 14, 2013. Prior to the Conference, the 2013 Gordon Research Seminar will be held June 8-9 for junior scientists. This award will provide partial registration fee support to a limited number of junior participants - graduate students and postdocs - who would otherwise be unable to attend the conference.
The Gordon Research Conference on NUCLEAR CHEMISTRY was held at Colby-Sawyer College, New London, New Hampshire, June 9-14, 2013. The Conference was well-attended with 133 participants (attendees list attached). The attendees represented the spectrum of endeavor in this field coming from academia, industry, and government laboratories, both U.S. and foreign scientists, senior researchers, young investigators, and students. Of the 133 attendees, 66 voluntarily responded to a general inquiry regarding ethnicity which appears on our registration forms. Of the 66 respondents, 11% were Minorities – 3% Hispanic, 6% Asian and 2% African American. Approximately 24% of the participants at the 2013 meeting were women. The Gordon Research Seminar on NUCLEAR CHEMISTRY was held at Colby-Sawyer College, New London, New Hampshire, June 8-9, 2013. The Seminar was well-attended with 43 participants (attendees list attached). The attendees represented the spectrum of endeavor in this field coming from academia, industry, and government laboratories, both U.S. and foreign scientists, senior researchers, young investigators, and students. Of the 33 attendees, 25 voluntarily responded to a general inquiry regarding ethnicity which appears on our registration forms. Of the 25 respondents, 12% were Minorities – 0% Hispanic, 8% Asian and 4% African American. Approximately 37% of the participants at the 2013 meeting were women. In designing the formal speakers program, emphasis was placed on current unpublished research and discussion of the future target areas in this field. There was a conscious effort to stimulate lively discussion about the key issues in the field today. Time for formal presentations was limited in the interest of group discussions. In order that more scientists could communicate their most recent results, poster presentation time was scheduled. Attached is a copy of the formal schedule and speaker program and the poster program. In addition to these formal interactions, "free time" was scheduled to allow informal discussions. Such discussions are fostering new collaborations and joint efforts in the field. Thank you for your support of this Conference. As you know, in the interest of promoting the presentation of unpublished and frontier-breaking research, Gordon Research Conferences does not permit publication of meeting proceedings.
