ABSTRACT

"I will give a general overview of my research interests in the field of condensed matter physics, trying to explain why I find it fun to stare at a computer all day."

--> Nonmembers Welcome! <-- 

Sideroom C is reserved from 11:30 to 1:30 for people who like to eat earlier or later, and informal discussion. You are welcome to come for just the talk at noon.

There will be a brief LAWIS steering committee meeting at 1PM (following the talk; LAWIS steering committee meetings are open if you are interested in participating).

Kathy Lovell's talk, previously advertized for this time slot, has been rescheduled to next September.

LAWIS members are reminded that their ballots for 1999 LAWIS officers are due on Monday, December 14 (contact Wendee M. Brunish, 667-5724, wb@lanl.gov, Mailstop F659, if you did not receive your ballot and wish to vote).

LAWIS HOLIDAY PARTY

Wednesday, December 16, 1998
LAWIS Annual Meeting and Holiday PotLuck
6:00PM, 162 Chamisa St, Los Alamos
NOTE CHANGE OF LOCATION

Due to a family emergency for Carol LaDelfe the location of the LAWIS Holiday Party has been changed.

Wendee Brunish has graciously volunteered to take over hosting the LAWIS Annual Meeting and Holiday PotLuck in her home at 162 Chamisa St, Los Alamos.

The schedule will be:

  • 6:00 "cocktails" (pre-meeting social)
  • 6:30 Annual Meeting
    agenda:
    1) brief review of activities of LAWIS for 1998
    2) announcements of results of the election of new steering committee members
    3) proposal and vote regarding revisions to By-laws/policies
  • 7:00 PotLuck Dinner/Party
    bring a dish to serve 8-10 people.

    • Directions to Wendee's house:
    On Barranca Mesa, take the first left, and it is the third house on the right: a big gray house with lots of Christmas lights. If you need additional information, contact Wendee at 667-5724, wb@lanl.gov, or 662-3252.

    You are welcome to come for just the pre-meeting social, the meeting, or the dinner as your schedule permits. As at all LAWIS events, non-members are also welcome.

    There is no need to RSVP regarding what you are bringing to the PotLuck: we are counting on the laws of probability to insure you will get a balanced meal: after all, this is a "season of faith" in many religions!
