Nominations Solicited for UKPPG/DPOLY Polymer Lecture Exchange

In order to strengthen ties between the Division of Polymer Physics (DPOLY) of the American Physical Society (APS) and the Polymer Physics Group (PPG) of the Institute of Physics, a UKPPG/DPOLY Polymer Lecture Exchange was established in 2009. Starting with meetings in 2009 and offering every two years to coincide with UK-PPG meetings, each group will choose a person who will present an invited lecture at the meeting of the other group. The next nominations are targeted for presentations at the March 2011 APS and Sept 2011 UK-PPG (Guildford, UK) meetings.

Nominations will be solicited for the DPOLY member who will lecture at the PPG meeting in the UK in Sept 2011 at University of Surrey (Guildford, UK). In order to be eligible, the nominee must be a DPOLY member and must have received the Ph.D. within 5 years of the nomination deadline (December 31, 2010). A call for nominations will be distributed in Fall 2010. The DPOLY Executive Committee will select the Lecturer.
