New scientists and students will be strongly encouraged to attend the Fourth International Conference on Borate Glasses, Crystals, and Melts. This meeting will take place at Coe College in Cedar Rapids, IA from July 14-18, 2002. In particular, women and minority members will be actively sought out and invited to participate in the meeting. There are many recent developments within the field that will be addressed including: new variations of spectroscopic techniques that are capable of probing the intermediate range order in borate glasses, novel preparation techniques, reports of new non-oxide boron-containing glasses and crystals, industrial uses of borates, improvements in computer modeling of atomic structure, and recent advances in out knowledge of related crystalline compounds. %%%The most important aspect of this project will be the very strong student participation in this meeting, at both the undergraduate and graduate levels. We think our approach is justified because it will result in: a much stronger than usual involvement of students at a professional meeting, more scientific interactions between students from different research groups, and feedback to those who make presentations from an excellent cross-section of experienced scientists in the field. A critical mass of 50 to 75 students will encourage their full participation in the conference. Several discussion sessions targeting students and new scientists will be scheduled. We believe this approach may serve as a model for student and new scientist participation in scientific conferences in the future. ***

我们强烈鼓励新科学家和学生参加第四届硼酸盐玻璃、晶体和熔体国际会议。 这次会议将于 2002 年 7 月 14 日至 18 日在爱荷华州锡达拉皮兹的科学院举行。特别是，将积极寻找并邀请妇女和少数族裔成员参加这次会议。 该领域的许多最新发展将得到解决，包括：能够探测硼酸盐玻璃中的中间范围有序的光谱技术的新变化、新颖的制备技术、新型非氧化物含硼玻璃和晶体的报告、工业硼酸盐的使用、原子结构计算机建模的改进以及相关晶体化合物知识的最新进展。 %%%该项目最重要的方面是本科生和研究生级别的学生对本次会议的强烈参与。 我们认为我们的方法是合理的，因为它将导致：学生在专业会议上比平常更积极地参与，来自不同研究小组的学生之间更科学的互动，以及对来自经验丰富的跨领域优秀演讲者的反馈该领域的科学家。 50 至 75 名学生的临界数量将鼓励他们充分参与会议。 将安排一些针对学生和新科学家的讨论会。 我们相信这种方法可以作为学生和新科学家未来参与科学会议的典范。 ***
