Paris Meeting Highlights (April 27 - May 2, 2003)

Abstract

April in Paris—The song mentions “chestnuts in blossom and holiday tables under the trees;” and whether you prefer Count Basie’s take on the tune or the Doris Day film version, the ECS meeting in Paris truly did have a feeling “that no one can ever reprise.” Perhaps it was the locale, or the inspiring technical program awaiting attendees, or both; but the meeting in Paris seemed to turn even the most focused scientific mind to a more philosophic reverie.
