WELCOME

W elcome to New Orleans and the APS March Meeting 2017!


This large and diverse collection of physicists, including many of our
friends and families, provides a unique opportunity to broaden our
knowledge in all areas of physics, and beyond. Just as important, this
venue provides a perfect forum to network and establish collaborations;
both locally and globally. I encourage you all to reach out to scientists
who work in areas in which you have little experience; as it is often that one
finds those gorgeous new scientific gems in the grain boundaries between fields.
I further encourage you all to reach out to populations with whom you might have little experience
not only does diversity in fields breed creativity, but diversity in outlook and experience naturally
creates inspiration. Be sure to just walk up to anyone you dont know, introduce yourself, and start
the conversation.

On behalf of APS, I wish you a productive week in physics and science diplomacy to make this
the best March Meeting ever!

Laura H. Greene
2017 APS President
Chief Scientist, National High Magnetic Field Laboratory
Florida State University

T he APS March Meeting 2017 in New Orleans represents the very best
at the frontiers of physics with significant international representation
and diversity making it the largest physics meeting in the world.
It provides a venue for the most current science presentations, available to
all members. Our meeting grows in size, slowly but steadily, unfortunately
pushing the boundaries for available conference sites. Although large,
the benefits of the March Meetings unique format of openness outweigh
difficulties of management which APS is in the process of addressing.

Using the online tools like My Scheduler, look into the variety of sessions, including topics
on entrepreneurship, jamming, meta-materials, topological insulators, iron-based and cuprate
superconductors, quantum simulation, spintronics, graphene, electrons on liquid helium, cell-
migration, climate change, nanoscale heat transport, opto-mechanics, multi-ferroics, qubits, flexible
and stretchable electronics, outreach, national agency support for physics, lunch with the experts, and
much more. Come and listen to our 2016 Nobel Laureates in the special Kavli session on quantum
matter and quantum information.

I welcome you to this years meeting and wish you a very productive and exciting week in physics.

March Meeting 2017 Program Chair

CODE OF CONDUCT

It is the policy of the American Physical Society (APS) that all participants,
including attendees, vendors, APS staff, volunteers, and all other stakeholders at
APS meetings will conduct themselves in a professional manner that is welcoming
to all participants and free from any form of discrimination, harassment, or
retaliation. Participants will treat each other with respect and consideration
to create a collegial, inclusive, and professional environment at APS meetings.
Creating a supportive environment to enable scientific discourse at APS meetings
is the responsibility of all participants.

Participants will avoid any inappropriate actions or statements based on individual


characteristics such as age, race, ethnicity, sexual orientation, gender identity,
gender expression, marital status, nationality, political affiliation, ability status,
educational background, or any other characteristic protected by law. Disruptive

but is not limited to inappropriate or intimidating behavior and language,
unwelcome jokes or comments, unwanted touching or attention, offensive images,
photography without permission, and stalking.

Violations of this code of conduct policy should be reported to meeting organizers,


APS staff, or the APS Director of Meetings. Sanctions may range from verbal
warning, to ejection from the meeting without refund, to notifying appropriate
authorities. Retaliation for complaints of inappropriate conduct will not be
tolerated. If a participant observes inappropriate comments or actions and
personal intervention seems appropriate and safe, they should be considerate of all
parties before intervening.

Code of Conduct Hotline (open during registration hours): (301) 209-3675.

All interested attendees are welcome to participate in Recently, Supreme Court Chief Justice Roberts asked,
a round-table discussion on improving professional What unique perspective does a minority student bring
and educational climate within physics with particular to a physics class? Over the last year, the socio-political
attention to those those who identify as gender and climate has called into question the value of diversity
sexual minorities (LGBTQQIAAP+). We will focus within the larger society. In this session, we provide
on ongoing implementation of the recommendations a resounding and uplifting answer to these questions
from the report LGBT Climate in Physics: Building from a variety of perspectives and affirm why diversity is
an Inclusive Community, released at the APS March critical to the advancement of physics and society.
Meeting in 2016. We will discuss strategies for both
APS-led and grassroots organizing aimed at improving
support for physicists at different career stages and in
diverse environments, including academia, industry
and the public sector. Allies will learn how they may
help to support and mentor LGBT+ physicists and how
the proposed actions can help improve the climate for
a broad cross-section of physicists with intersecting
minoritized identities within our field.

ELMER IMES ( 1 8 8 3 - 1 9 41 )

was the second black Ph.D. physicist in the


United States, and the first to do significant
research work. He published his first paper
in November 1919. The work provided the
first accurate determination of the distances
between atoms in molecules, expanded the
range of applicability of quantum theory,
and provided evidence for the existence of
two isotopes of chlorine.
