The 27th Ontario-Québec
|
 |
The 27th POMs was organized by Monica Barra (Waterloo) and Adrian Schwan (Guelph), and it was held at the University of Guelph, Guelph, Ontario, on November 5-7, 1999.
Normally reliable sources (viz. the organizers) have reported that the 27th POMs went off very successfully. According to them, there were 90 participants registered at the symposium. These consisted of 37 faculty + industry types: 8 from USA, 1 from England (Dr. A.J. Kirby, I presume), and the remainder from Canada. As well, there were 53 students + post-docs, of which 5 were from USA. It is encouraging to see that the number of participants is keeping up, especially in respect of the attendance by graduate students and post-docs.
On the program side, there were 32 poster presentations, 24 oral presentations and one invited lecture. This last was given by Professor James M. Tanko (Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University), who presented a talk entitled: "Radical Ion Clocks ... What makes 'em tick?".

Just over 60 people attended the Banquet on the Saturday evening.
A sincere and hearty "Well done!" to Monica and Adrian, and to all their helpers.
Also, a very special "Thank you" to the various symposium sponsors:
