The DLS sponsored the 7th New Laser Scientist Conference (NLSC), a 1½ day mini-conference for new faculty and scientists doing laser related research, in conjunction with the October, 2012 FiO/LS meeting of the OSA/DLS in Rochester, NY.  The NLSC helps to establish a peer group for new laser scientists in the DLS and includes roundtable discussions as well as interactions with funding program managers.  This conference is designed to benefit new faculty and scientists who are within a few years of their first permanent appointment.  NLSC-7 was coordinated by Dan Stamper-Kurn.

The 8th NLSC will take place in conjunction with the 2014 FiO/LS meeting in Tucson, AZ. It will be coordinated by Dan Gauthier (Duke University)
