The International Conference for Women in Physics (ICWIP) meets every three years in locations around the globe. Under the auspices of the International Union of Pure and Applied Physics (IUPAP), ICWIP draws female physicists (and a few males) from over two dozen countries to meet for three days and share stories and research, in order to promote a more equitable physics community. The first ICWIP was created to get a sense of the status of women in physics globally. This goal has been upheld with the following conferences. But the value of a meeting is not just for those who attend; sharing what is learned is in many cases even more valuable. In this paper, we share an overview of the ICWIP, focus on what will be useful for readers of The Physics Teacher, and highlight the fact that the proceedings of the ICWIP are all available for free through AIP Publishing, as part of the goal of sharing work that will help make physics a more diverse and equitable field.

This workshop focused on the holographic duality between string theory on threedimensional anti-de Sitter space (AdS3) and conformal field theories in two dimensions (CFT2). It featured a school intended for doctoral students and early-stage researchers, a focus week on black-hole physics and a conference where the major advances discussed in the workshop were presented. This eight-week long meeting enjoyed a wide participation, also thanks to additional funding from the Simons Foundation and the Associazione Casse di Risparmio Italiane (ACRI), bringing together specialists and young researchers from all over the world.

The article informs on 22nd Annual Green Chemistry and Engineering (GCE) Conference, and 8th International Advances in Applied Physics and Materials Science Congress and Exhibition to be held in Oludeniz, Turkey from April 24-30, 2018; along with the members of GCE such as Oleg Figovsky.

As president, there was opportunity to share with our physician colleagues the need for their support of our grassroot efforts to create and fund medical physics residency programs that could provide future, well-trained medical physicists. It was an honor to serve as AAPM president. PRESIDENT'S SYMPOSIUM The 42nd Annual AAPM Meeting was part of the World Congress on Medical Physics and Biomedical Engineering in Chicago, IL.

The ICPS series traditionally encompasses a variety of topics spanning device physics, quantum technologies, spin physics, wide bandgap materials, light-matter interactions, and other branches of materials science, physics and engineering. It is my pleasure to write this preface to the Special Section in the May 2023 issue of I pss(b) i , dedicated to the collection of selected works presented during the 35 SP th sp International Conference on Physics of Semiconductors (ICPS) held in Sydney, Australia in 2022. As we are preparing for the next meeting in Ottawa, Canada, the collection of papers should inspire our junior colleagues, that not only semiconductor physics is here to stay, but in fact, it is a multi-disciplinary and burgeoning field of research.

We review the construction of a duality-invariant higher-derivative theory based on a doubled metric. This theory incorporates the corrections needed in the Green-Schwarz anomaly cancellation mechanism. We note recent progress in elucidating the structure of the theory. This article is largely based on the plenary talk given by B. Zwiebach at 'The String Theory Universe', 21st European String Workshop, Leuven, September 7-11, 2015. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The article discusses the 2nd Asia Oceania Conference on Neutron Scattering (AOCNS) held in Manly, Sydney, New South Wales in July 2015. It mentions several themes of the presentations which include biological sciences and technology, condensed-matter physics and materials science and chemistry, the AOCNS Student Night Pub-Crawl in which participants converge on the streets and a presentation offering an update on the neutron facilities in various countries.

The preface to the special issue of IJMPD "Challenging Problems of Particle physics and Astrophysics" briefly reviews some new ideas in the development of modern Astrophysics, Cosmology, Particle and Astroparticle physics inspired by discussions at the Fifth International Conference on Particle Physics and Astrophysics (ICPPA2020).

The article discusses the highlights of a workshop held by the U.S. Department of Energy's Office of Basic Energy Sciences in February 2015 which aimed to identify advances in electron microscopy that would facilitate new science. Topics covered at the event include studies on ultrafast imaging and diffraction, the benefits of electron probe to study the physical properties of materials and continued improvement in the spatial resolution of electron microscopes.
