Materials Research Outreach Symposium at UCSB We are proud to announce the Materials Research Outreach Symposium at UCSB to be held February 28th - March 1st, 2000. The symposium comprises two consecutive programs. The Macromolecular Outreach Program (MOP), which will take place on Monday and Tuesday morning, will focus on research efforts concerned with the science and engineering of organic based macromolecules and polymers. It builds on the success of the 1999 MOP, which attracted considerable industrial participation and interest. The Inorganic Materials Program on Tuesday afternoon and Wednesday morning is included in the 2000 Symposium to give a complete perspective of the range and depth of materials problems under investigation at UCSB. The overall program is designed to stimulate collaborative research between faculty groups at UCSB and industry scientists and engineers under the auspices of our Materials Research Laboratory, one of the largest Materials Research Science and Engineering Centers funded by the National Science Foundation. As befits the interdisciplinary nature of this effort, our participating faculty come from many departments (e.g. Materials, Chemistry, Chemical Engineering, Molecular, Cellular, and Developmental Biology and Physics) and many have joint appointments in more than one department. The scientific program will feature talks by UCSB faculty, students, and industry representatives, as well as poster sessions where the full scope of research at UCSB can be appreciated through one-on-one contact with graduate students and faculty. Please have a look at the agenda, which gives details of these talks. We will have a symposium banquet Monday evening after the first poster session. We urge you to take the opportunity to stay in Santa Barbara over the weekend, not just to save money on your airfare, but also to experience some of the many recreational possibilities and scenic attractions that Santa Barbara has to offer. We have set aside a set of rooms at the Harbor View Inn, 28 W. Cabrillo Blvd. in downtown Santa Barbara for participants in the symposium. Please phone for reservations at (800) 755-0222 as soon as possible to reserve a room - mention that you are with the UCSB Materials Research Symposium. The deadline for room reservations is January 28, 2000. Please use the on-line registration form to add your name to the list of attendants. If you have questions, please contact
