Dear ASLMS Members:
A milestone year is upon us - the 50th anniversary of the
demonstration of the first working laser. To mark this
momentous occasion in 2010, ASLMS has been asked to take
part in
LaserFest, the celebration of this achievement.
LaserFest is designed to commemorate the
accomplishments of the laser as well as look to future
applications of laser technology. Through a series of
programs and events, this initiative will raise awareness
of the widespread impact of laser technology - from
medicine to consumer electronics and beyond - and
reiterate its future potential. From public "Laser Days"
events and "LaserFest on the Road" exhibitions to
technical meeting debates, symposia and demonstrations,
LaserFest will engage the entire laser community in
recognizing the laser's impact on our daily lives.
As experts in laser medicine, LaserFest needs your
involvement to ensure that laser medicine is a part of
this celebration. Opportunities include grants for
educational outreach activities, potential media
interviews and numerous others. For more information and
to get involved, visit the
LaserFest Web site and sign up under "Join Us."
As always, your input is welcome. If you have suggestions
for ways for ASLMS to participate and celebrate the 50th
anniversary of the laser, please send them our way!
Sincerely,
R. Rox Anderson, M.D.
ASLMS President |
