On Saturday October 10, 2009, the University of Vermont is hosting a
special symposium in celebration of Dr. Wesley Nyborg's fiftieth year in the
Department of Physics and honoring his pioneering work in the field of
physical acoustics and biomedical ultrasound. We would like to invite
you to join us as we celebrate this milestone and pay tribute to a
great researcher, teacher, mentor and colleague.
We plan to have a morning session of invited papers and an afternoon
session of contributed papers related to Dr. Nyborg's research
interests. If you wish to submit a contributed paper, please send via
e-mail a proposed title and an abstract (< 200 words) before September
15, 2009 to Ms. Denise Fontaine (Denise.Fontaine@uvm.edu). You may
