[Aspuru-Guzik group list] Fwd: 2009/10 Grad student-PostDoc seminar series

by Alan Aspuru-Guzik

Hi group members, I am looking for volunteers to give 2 seminars next semester. Please send me your candidacy (with the topic that you would like to talk about) by the end of the next week so I can make a decision on which 2 I will nominate :) Alan Alán Aspuru-Guzik | Assistant Professor Harvard University | Department of Chemistry and Chemical Biology 12 Oxford Street, Room M113 | Cambridge, MA 02138 (617)-384-8188 | http://aspuru.chem.harvard.edu ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Joel Kralj <joelkralj(a)gmail.com> Date: Fri, Jul 17, 2009 at 11:20 AM Subject: 2009/10 Grad student-PostDoc seminar series To: aspuru(a)chemistry.harvard.edu Cc: anna(a)chemistry.harvard.edu Dear Prof Aspuru-Guzik, Last fall was the inaugural semester of the CCB weekly student/postdoc seminar series. During the lunch hour of each Friday throughout the academic year, two students or postdocs from the department gave 25-minute talks describing their research to their peers. With the help and participation of 29 out of 30 CCB and affiliated labs, the series was a great success and received favorable reviews in student surveys. Among the series’ benefits were increased interaction among students and valuable practice in preparing and giving presentations to a general scientific audience. As the organizers of the seminar series, we are now beginning to plan for the upcoming 2009-10 academic year. Key to the series’ success, of course, is securing a variety of student and postdoctoral speakers from diverse labs and areas of interest. We would greatly appreciate your assistance in recruiting such speakers. Specifically, we ask that you recommend two trainees from your laboratory to give talks during the year – one each for the fall and spring semesters. You may do so by replying to this email or by returning the form that has been distributed to your mailbox. Your response by August 5, 2009, would be particularly helpful to us in planning the series. Please also let us know within this time frame if you would prefer for us to approach your students directly about participating in the seminars. Finally, please do not hesitate to contact us with any questions or suggestions for improvement regarding the series. Thank you in advance for your assistance and support!

Some of you might find interesting the articles in the section about Organic photonics. Also, for some of us - "quantum computer geeks"- the article in the quantum optics section about the control of the phase in a single-photon wavepacket might be interesting as well. -A ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Nature Photonics Alert <Nature_Photonics(a)ealert.nature.com> Date: Fri, Jul 31, 2009 at 6:43 AM Subject: Nature Photonics contents August 2009 Volume 3 Number 8 pp421-484 To: aleperd(a)gmail.com [image: Nature Photonics]<http://links.ealert.nature.com/ctt?kn=3&m=33762454&r=MTc2NjIyNjI5NgS2&b=0&j…> *TABLE OF CONTENTS* ------------------------------ August 2009 Volume 3, Issue 8 <http://links.ealert.nature.com/ctt?kn=148&m=33762454&r=MTc2NjIyNjI5NgS2&b=0…> Editorial <#122d086f04019b6a_ed> Commentary <#122d086f04019b6a_cy> Research Highlights <#122d086f04019b6a_rhighlts> News and Views <#122d086f04019b6a_nv> Technology Focus <#122d086f04019b6a_Techfocus> Letters <#122d086f04019b6a_le> Article <#122d086f04019b6a_af> Interview <#122d086f04019b6a_intvw> [image: recommend to your library]Recommend to your library<http://links.ealert.nature.com/ctt?kn=46&m=33762454&r=MTc2NjIyNjI5NgS2&b=0&…> [image: live newsfeeds]Web feed<http://links.ealert.nature.com/ctt?kn=147&m=33762454&r=MTc2NjIyNjI5NgS2&b=0…> [image: subscribe]Subscribe<http://links.ealert.nature.com/ctt?kn=123&m=33762454&r=MTc2NjIyNjI5NgS2&b=0…> Advertisement*Spotlight on Nature Photonics* *Nature Photonics*<http://links.ealert.nature.com/ctt?kn=151&m=33762454&r=MTc2NjIyNjI5NgS2&b=0…>celebrates its first ISI Impact Factor of *24.982**!

[Aspuru-Guzik group list] JOURNAL OF PHYSICAL CHEMISTRY LETTERS (September 21)

by Alan Aspuru-Guzik

Dear group members, The much waited by me Journal of Physical Chemistry Letters journal (A "PRL-like" journal for chemists for short letters) is opening their doors for submission on September 21st. I send you this as a news item and reminder in case we have something appropriate to send by then.

Authors choose *Journal of Physical Chemistry* because they gain important advantages: *Worldwide distribution of research* The journals of the ACS are the most cited in chemistry and the related sciences. With an unparalleled reputation for excellence and broad accessibility by researchers at leading institutions worldwide, *Journal of Physical Chemistry* has the broad readership you want for your important research findings. *Editors are leading scientists in their respective fields* Unlike journal Editors at some publishers, *Journal of Physical Chemistry*Editors are active scientists and distinguished leaders in their respective areas of research. That means your submission will be handled by an expert who can give your paper the care and attention it deserves. *No mandatory charges for pages, color illustrations, or cover art* Physical chemistry journals from most other publishers apply author charges that can add up to significant sums. *Journal of Physical Chemistry* has no mandatory author charges for pages, color illustrations, or cover art. *Rapid publication of your paper to the web* *Journal of Physical Chemistry *offers faster times for submission to acceptance and to web publication than most competitive journals. With the launch of *Journal of Physical Chemistry Letters*, authors of letters will gain an even faster time to publication — estimated at 6–8 weeks from submission to web publication. ------------------------------ Attend “J Phys Chem Lett Fest” at the ACS Fall National Meeting in Washington, DC On Sunday, August 16, 2009, at the ACS Publications exhibit booth #1720, from 6:00 pm to 8:00 pm, celebrate the upcoming launch of the *Journal of Physical Chemistry Letters* with free giveaways, music, and a special presentation. We’ll also be honoring the young scientists selected from nominations to the PHYS Division for a new yearly symposium that highlights "leading research by postdoctoral fellows". The symposium will be held on Tuesday, August 18, in the Convention Center, Room 152 B. Come to the ACS Publications booth Sunday evening for an advance look at the research being presented at these invited-speaker-length-talks.

[Aspuru-Guzik group list] Two group meetings this week

by Alejandro Perdomo

Dear group,Tomorrow from 2-3pm we have Drew Ringsmuth who is visiting our lab until this Friday. If you have not met him, don't be shy and talk to him. The title of his presentation: "Towards high efficiency solar energy harvesting technologies: Dependence of photosynthetic efficiency on thylakoid membrane structure in the green alga, Chlamydomonas reinhardtii". The room where we will meet is still to be announced. On Thursday from 2-3pm we have Beatrice's presentation. This will be a first practice before she presents before the REU program. We got the Division Room (M102) for this one. Cheers, -A -- Alejandro Perdomo Ph.D. Candidate in Chemical Physics.

[Aspuru-Guzik group list] Appointments.

by Alan Aspuru-Guzik

Dear group, Recently, I have been swamped with complicated appointment requests by many of you. About a year ago, I had sent you the actual procedure for making an appointment and making life easier for all of us, which is using *Google Calendar* and requesting the appointment by inviting * aspuru.assistant(a)gmail.com* Then either Anna or Sarah will either accept the invitation or move it to another time. Please follow that procedure. If not, I can easily spend up to half an hour a day looking at the calendar and trying to figure out when to meet you. Things get quite acute when I am in travel and have limited connectivity and have to deal with 3-4 appointment requests in which neither the Google Calendar method is used, or aspuru.asistant is not copied. I am exploring a new tool called Timebridge that might be the solution we all need, but I have to look into it more. If you have questions, ask a peer first, and if not Sarah or Anna on how to do all this. Thank you for helping me speed up the appointment process, Alan Alán Aspuru-Guzik | Assistant Professor Harvard University | Department of Chemistry and Chemical Biology 12 Oxford Street, Room M113 | Cambridge, MA 02138 (617)-384-8188 | http://aspuru.chem.harvard.edu
