I would recommend Joshua Hooker, our MS student in Physics. He is
outstanding.

Subject: Invitation to nominate graduate students to the 63rd Meeting of
Nobel Laureates in Lindau, Germany

The Department of Energy (DOE), the National Institutes of Health (NIH),
the National Science Foundation (NSF), Oak Ridge Associated Universities
(ORAU), and Mars, Incorporated are pleased to announce that they will
nominate and sponsor a maximum of 85 total graduate students to attend
the 63rd annual meeting of Nobel Laureates in Lindau, Germany, from June
30 through July 5, 2013. We invite your institution to nominate up to
two students for each sponsor to be considered for this very exciting
opportunity.

Since 1951, Nobel Prize winners and students in chemistry, physics, and
physiology or medicine have met annually in Lindau, located on Lake
Constance in southwestern Germany. It is anticipated that some 550
students from more than 70 countries will attend the weeklong meeting in
2013. There are formal lectures in the morning, and the remainder of the
day is set aside for the students to meet informally with the Nobel
Laureate scientists, as well as with their fellow students from around
the world. Information on the most recent meeting and comments from
students who attended are available
athttp://www.orau.org/lindau/past-mtgs/default.shtml.

In 2013, the meeting will feature recipients of the Nobel Prize in
Chemistry. You may nominate students to attend this meeting who:

*                     are U.S. citizens currently enrolled at a
university as full-time graduate students;
*                     have completed by June 2013 at least two academic
years of graduate studies toward a doctoral degree in chemistry or in a
related discipline, but not be planning a dissertation/thesis defense
before December 31, 2013;
*                     If applying to DOE, NIH, or NSF: be supported by
and/or working on a project, grant, or fellowship sponsored by the DOE
Office of Science (DOE-SC), NIH (NCI, NIAAA, NIDCR, NIEHS, or NIGMS
only), or the NSF Directorate for Mathematical & Physical Sciences
(NSF-MPS).
*                     If applying to ORAU: be attending an ORAU member
institution (list is available here:
http://www.orau.org/university-partnerships/members.aspx) and actively
engaged in research funded by private or public sources.
*                     If applying to Mars, Incorporated: be actively
engaged in research funded by private or public sources.

All forms and nomination instructions can be found at
http://www.orau.org/lindau. We are especially interested in receiving
nominations from a diverse group of students, including women,
under-represented minorities and people with disabilities.

The selection process for the Lindau Meeting occurs over three phases.
The universities and National Laboratories complete the first phase by
selecting up to two students per sponsor and submitting the nomination
packet for each student.  DOE, NIH, NSF, ORAU, and Mars, Incorporated
complete phase two by selecting the students to nominate to the Lindau
Meeting.  The final phase of selection is completed by the Lindau
Meeting and its screening process. All three phases ultimately adhere to
the Lindau Meeting's selection criteria.

All nominations must be submitted online before Friday, December 14,
2012 at 4:00 pm, Eastern Time. Nominees will be notified by January 31,
2013 whether they have been selected for phase three of the nomination
process. Further information about the program, including the web site
for submission of nominations, can be found online at

The President/Chancellor/Director of your institution may delegate
responsibility for submitting nominations to another office in your
institution. However, individual faculty members may not submit
nominations directly. If you have any questions or need further
information, please contact me using the contact information below.

Best wishes and good luck,
