2010 March Meeting of the APS
March 15‑19, 2010
Portland, OR

Every year the Group for Statistical and Nonlinear Physics sponsors a Student Speaker Award at the March meeting of the American Physical Society. From the nominated talks GSNP chooses 5 students finalists to speak in a special award session at the March meeting. A committee selects a winner at the meeting. In 2010 the winner will receive a cash prize of $1000 and each finalist will receive $300.

The deadline for nominating a graduate student for the 2010 GSNP Student Prize Award is Friday, Nov. 20, 5:00 p.m. EST. Nominations, including a letter from the nominator, the abstract of the student's talk and the student's cv, should be sent to gsnp@mailaps.org. The abstract of the student must also be submitted to the APS as a regular contributed talk.
