During the next few days recent advances in aerosol science will be featured in plenary lectures, platform sessions, and poster presentations. This year, special symposia highlight the relationship between aerosols and climate change, microdosimetry of inhaled particles and drug aerosols, aerosols in the Southeastern U.S., and heterogeneous aerosol chemistry. This meeting holds a special place in my heart. As a graduate student, attending for the first time in 1992, I was exposed to cutting edge science across the field, and I met many wonderful people who are now colleagues, collaborators and friends. That experience, and my experience at subsequent AAAR conferences, helped me decide on a career in aerosol research. This year's meeting promises more of the mix of excellent science and collegiality we have all come to expect. I hope many students and other newcomers to this conference will decide to become AAAR members and keep coming back. We thank everyone attending this week, whether first time attendees, returning members, international members or local participants, for your contribution to the success of AAAR 2004! Sincerely, Sheryl Ehrman 2004 Conference Chair 4 IMPORTANT INFORMATION REGISTRATION HOURS Sunday, October 3 5:00 PM - 9:00 PM Monday, October 4 7:00 AM - 8:00 PM Tuesday, October 5 7:00 AM - 6:30 PM Wednesday, October 6 7:00 AM - 8:00 PM Thursday, October 7 7:00 AM - 6:00 PM Friday, October 8 7:00 AM - 2:00 PM EXHIBIT HALL HOURS Monday, October 4 6:00 PM - 8:00 PM Tuesday, October 5 9:00 AM - 6:30 PM Wednesday, October 6 9:00 AM - 8:00 PM Thursday, October 7 9:00 AM - 3:00 PM 6:00 PM - 8:00 PM (Posters Only) PLATFORM SESSIONS A platform session is based on a submitted and approved abstract.
