APS March Meeting 2019

Once more, it is that time of year, when (mostly) condensed matter physicists gather in ever-increasing numbers to give and watch talks, network, try to get cool swag at the tradeshow, and generally grouse about the poor quality and high price of convention center coffee.  The March Meeting this year is in Boston for the first time since I've been going 2012.  (Strangely, I was unable to find a list of all the March Meeting sites online.  Perhaps a reader knows the last time the meeting was in Boston.)  It's my third and last year as a DCMP member-at-large, so it will be interesting to hear what comes up at the business meetings this time.   As I have done in past years, I'll do my best to write up some of what I see and give my impressions of the conference, though I may be more concise compared to previous years.

  2. Thanks! Wow - somehow the 2012 meeting completely slipped my mind. That's really sad, since I blogged about it here and in the subsequent two posts. I will edit accordingly.

    the executive committee membership (following your link) omits your name. You should have them correct this

  4. Anon@5:03pm, this morning they updated the page. Technically my term on the executive committee ends at this meeting, so they've already dropped off the names of the people rotating off in the next couple of days.

    The 1999 March meeting was in Atlanta. I remember because it was the Centennial meeting.
