More About IYL 2015 On 20 December 2013, The United Nations (UN) General Assembly 68th Session proclaimed 2015 as the International Year of Light and Light-based Technologies. This International Year has been the initiative of a large consortium of scientific bodies together with UNESCO, and will bring together many different stakeholders including scientific societies and unions, educational institutions, technology platforms, non-profit organizations and private sector partners. In proclaiming an International Year focusing on the topic of light science and its applications, the United Nations has recognized the importance of raising global awareness about how light-based technologies promote sustainable development and provide solutions to global challenges in energy, education, agriculture and health. Light plays a vital role in our daily lives and is an imperative cross-cutting discipline of science in the 21st century. It has revolutionized medicine, opened up international communication via the Internet, and continues to be central to linking cultural, economic and political aspects of the global society.

GRANTS TO PROMOTE SCIENCE EDUCATION IN THE NEW ORLEANS AREA Grants of up to $1,000 are available to every school with an enrollment of over 200 students that sends one or more teachers to a teacher workshop (limit one grant per school). These grants will enable teachers to purchase equipment demonstrated in the workshops or other science-related equipment of their choice. All equipment will be shipped directly to the teachers at their school address. The Pittcon 2015 Science Week programs offer a wide variety of educational activities during Conference Week for the benefit of students and teachers in elementary, middle, and high schools in New Orleans and the surrounding area. These activities are provided as part of our mission to promote science awareness and science education.

2016 PITTSBURGH CONFERENCE MEMORIAL NATIONAL COLLEGE GRANTS PROGRAM The Pittsburgh Conference on Analytical Chemistry and Applied Spectroscopy, Inc. (a Pennsylvania non-profit Corporation) and its co-sponsoring technical societies, The Society for Analytical Chemists of Pittsburgh (SACP) and The Spectroscopy Society of Pittsburgh (SSP), proudly announce the 2016 Pittsburgh Conference Memorial National College Grants (PCMNCG) Program. Grants will be awarded to small college science departments for the purchase of scientific equipment, audio-visual or other teaching aids, and/or library materials for use in the teaching of science at the undergraduate level. Based on anticipated funds, we expect that at least ten colleges will be selected to receive grants. The amount requested in each proposal may not exceed $10,000. To be eligible for an award, schools must meet the following criteria. 1. Enrollment must not exceed 5,000 full-time students. 2. No more than 25% of the operating budget, which does not include student financial aid, may come from national or state governments. Two-year community colleges sponsored by political subdivisions of a state are not bound by criteria one and two. 3. Requests for materials to be used only for research purposes will not be funded. 4. Awards may be used as part of “Matching Grant” programs; use of matching funds to increase the overall impact of the grant will be considered in the evaluation of proposals and is highly encouraged. 5. Schools are ineligible for the PCMNCG program for a three-year period following receipt of the PCMNCG grant (award recipients from 2013, 2014, and 2015 are not eligible for the 2016 program). Faculty members are urged to participate in the 2016 Pittsburgh Conference Memorial National College Grants Program by obtaining an application form from our website at www.pittcon.org (select the College Grants link) and submitting it along with your proposal via email by October 1, 2015 to: [email protected] Award winners will be announced by February 16, 2016. Selected schools will join the list of over 200 institutions honored since the start of this program in 1974.

PITTCON 2015 WAllACE H. COUlTER lECTURE Pittcon is pleased to announce that Naomi J. Halas, Stanley C. Moore Professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering, Rice University, will be the Wallace H. Coulter Lecture speaker.

WAllACE H. COUlTER FOUNDATION For the third year, the Coulter Foundation makes possible The Wallace H. Coulter Lectureship Award which recognizes an outstanding individual who has demonstrated a lifetime commitment to, and has made seminal contributions to scientific research that have had a significant impact on education, practice and/or research in laboratory science. In addition, Pittcon along with the generous endowed support of the Wallace H. Coulter Foundation will encourage educational training and development in laboratory sciences with special emphasis on resource limited countries worldwide.

WALLACE H. COULTER LECTURE Dr. Naomi J. Halas Stanley C. Moore Professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering, Rice University

“Plasmonics: Shedding Light on Cross-Cutting Science and Technologies” Date: Sunday, March 8, 2015 Time: 4:45 PM location: Great Hall A, Ernest N. Morial Convention Center, New Orleans, LA (Mixer to immediately follow the lecture.)

Metallic nanoparticles, used since antiquity to impart intense and vibrant color into materials, have more recently become a central tool in the nanoscale manipulation of light across a range of chemical sciences and engineering applications. This interest has led to a virtual explosion of new types of metal-based nanoparticles and nanostructures of various shapes and compositions, and has given rise to new strategies to harvest, control, and manipulate light based on these structures and their properties. By assembling metallic nanoparticles into useful building blocks, a striking parallel between the plasmons of these structures and wave functions of simple quantum systems is universally observed. 1 Clusters of metallic nanoparticles behave like coupled oscillators or antennas, introducing effects characteristic of systems as diverse as radio frequency transmitters and coupled pendulums into light-driven nanoscale structures. 2 Their unique light-controlling properties can be put to use in a multitude of ways: for detecting single molecules and following chemical reactions, for generation of hot electrons for color-specific photodetection3 and photocatalysis,4 and most recently, for high-efficiency solar steam generation poised to tackle our planet’s energy and sustainability challenges.5

More About IYL 2015 On 20 December 2013, The United Nations (UN) General Assembly 68th Session proclaimed 2015 as the International Year of Light and Light-based Technologies. This International Year has been the initiative of a large consortium of scientific bodies together with UNESCO, and will bring together many different stakeholders including scientific societies and unions, educational institutions, technology platforms, non-profit organizations and private sector partners. In proclaiming an International Year focusing on the topic of light science and its applications, the United Nations has recognized the importance of raising global awareness about how light-based technologies promote sustainable development and provide solutions to global challenges in energy, education, agriculture and health. Light plays a vital role in our daily lives and is an imperative cross-cutting discipline of science in the 21st century. It has revolutionized medicine, opened up international communication via the Internet, and continues to be central to linking cultural, economic and political aspects of the global society.
