5.Physics Research & Education — Astronomy's Discoveries and Physics Education
Dates	17 Jun 2012 → 22 Jun 2012	[ID=455041]
Location	Waterville, ME, United States
Organizer	Gordon Research Conferences
Abstract	"Astronomy's Discoveries and Physics Education" is the title of the 2012 Physics Research and Education Gordon Research Conference. At this GRC a distinguished group of speakers will review major discoveries and technologies of astronomy and astrophysics. They and members of the astronomy and physics education research communities will also explore and suggest ways to use this material to enrich and enhance undergraduate physics education. As with all GRCs, advancing research frontiers is an important goal, but, in addition, this conference seeks to motivate participants to create astronomy-based teaching materials that will convey to students the excitement of these frontiers and also entice physicists to use them as contexts for teaching physics in their undergraduate courses. The conference's format - invited plenary sessions, contributed poster presentations, and generous amounts of unscheduled time for informal discussions - promotes dialogue and cross-fertilization of ideas between educators and researchers at the forefront of their fields. Who should participate? You if you're interested in fostering the use of astronomy's discoveries to better teach physics to undergraduates. If this challenge attracts you - whether you are an active researcher in astronomy, astrophysics, or space science, or a research associate (postdoc), or an author of books that present physics in a strong astronomy context, or a developer of curricula and educational materials, or a graduate or undergraduate student, or a two-year or four-year college or university faculty member with an interest in physics and astronomy - apply to attend this Gordon Conference on "Astronomy's Discoveries and Physics Education."

6.Science & Technology Policy — Science and Technology Policy in Global Context
Dates	05 Aug 2012 → 10 Aug 2012	[ID=455867]
Location	Waterville Valley, NH, United States
Organizer	Gordon Research Conferences
Abstract	The global context for science and technology policies is changing quickly. Knowledge is flowing around the world ever more freely. International collaboration is growing in every field. Economies that have traditionally grown through innovation face new competition from rising economic powers. Intellectual property regimes are in flux and under attack. Scientists and engineers trained in Europe and North America are returning to their regions of origins more often. Science and technology are embroiled in global regulatory issues like the ground rules for nanotechnology and synthetic biology, renewable and nuclear energy, and access to essential medicines. The 2012 Gordon Research Conference on Science and Technology Policy will delve deeply into this range of issues, asking how the questions and answers of science and technology policy need to change in response to international developments. The program will tap the best recent research on the global dimensions of research, innovation, human resource, and regulatory policies, as well as perspectives from S&T policy practitioners from around the world. The 2012 GRC on Science and Technology Policy will also offer for the first time a Gordon Research Seminar organized along the theme of the symposium, which will be held immediately preceding the GRC on Science and Technology Policy. Junior investigators, such as students, postdocs, and trainees, are encouraged to attend.
