gional Meeting (NORM 2001), hosted by the Puget Sound Section, will be held at Seattle University's Pigott Hall from Thursday, June 14, through Sunday, June 17. N O R M 2001 is cosponsored by the Washington College Chemistry Teachers Association (WCCTA).
SPECIAL EVENTS
The theme for N O R M 2 0 0 1 is "The Future of Chemistry Is Here." Several plenary sessions and interdisciplinary public lectures will address this theme, including "Technology for the 21st Century," presented by Lura J. Powell, director, Pacific Northwest National Laboratory; "DNA and Molecular Recognition," presented by Jacqueline Barton, California Institute of Technology; "Bioengineering Tissues," presented by Buddy Ratner, University of Washington; "History and Chemistry of Plutonium Extraction at Hanford," presented by Earl Wheelwright, Pacific Northwest National Laboratory; "Life in the Universe," presented by Donald Brownlee, University ofWashington; "Climate Change: How Will It Affect the Pacific Northwest?" presented by Jae Edmonds, Pacific Northwest National Laboratory; and "The Future of Science Education," presented by Glenn A. Crosby, Washington State University. The lecture series will culminate on Sunday with lectures called "The Human Genome: W h a t It Is, W h a t We Know about It, and How We Know It," presented by Alan Weiner, University ofWashington; and "Public Policy Implications of Knowing the Human Genome," presented by Paul Billings, Gene Sage & Co. Many of the 17 invited symposia will focus on the future implications of developments in chemistry Others will cover a broad range of chemistry topics, as will sessions of contributed papers. Full programs are offered for K-12 teachers, and for undergraduate students and young chemists. Scholarships are available for high school teachers, and travel funds are available for undergraduate students. 66

Image & Meaning Conference
R
EGISTRATION IS OPEN FOR THE IMAGE
& Meaning Conference to be held on June 13-16 at Massachusetts Institute of Technology The conference will involve participants from science and engineering, imaging, information architecture, science writing, and pub lishing. Participants will discuss and demonstrate the most advanced forms of visual expression from scientific, tech nical, and nonscientific visual fields. In addition to lectures, workshops, and panel discussions, the Image & Meaning Conference will showcase out standing examples of science communi cation through exhibits ranging from straightforward displays of printed materials to computer-based interactive displays. Topics will include ways in which techniques developed for one discipline can be used in another; the role of sci ence writers in adding information and meaning to the image; the psychology of perception; the border between image enhancement and falsification; graphical representation of numerical data; and tailoring of various kinds of imagery to suit specific media, from academic jour nals and textbooks to newspapers, televi sion, and the Internet. Speakers and participants are listed in the conference program, which is on the Web at http://web.mit.edu/i-m. A special evening event will feature presentations by Alan Lightman, Roger Penrose, Susan Sontag, and E. O. Wilson. One session will feature presentations by Hollywood special effects studios Digital Domain, Industrial Light & Magic, and Sony Imageworks. A preconference website, where par ticipants will collaborate before, during, and after the conference to create an online community of working groups, has been established. Standard registration fees are $325 by June 1; $395 after June 1. The fee for stu dents is $150 by June 1; $175 after June 1. M I T will offer a limited number of stu dent scholarships. No application is nec essary; the reduced rate of $50 will be reflected on the registration form. The conference is sponsored in part by Eastman Kodak, the National Science Foundation, and the American Chemical Society.
