The Twin Cities of Minneapolis and St. Paul, situated near the confluence of the Minnesota and Mississippi rivers, offer a remarkable blend of readily accessible cultural, gastronomic, athletic, and shopping opportunities. Mid-October usually coincides with the peak of fall colors, and the many urban lakes and parks provide beautiful settings for walking, jogging, and biking. Direct flights to Minneapolis-St Paul International Airport are conveniently available from most cities in North America.
The annual meeting of the Society of Rheology will be held at the
Radisson Metrodome Hotel located right on the Minneapolis campus of the
University of Minnesota. A welcoming reception will be held on Sunday
evening in the Radisson Hotel. The Society reception will be held on Monday
evening at the Frederick R. Weisman Art Museum, a stunning Frank Gehry
edifice overlooking the Mississippi river and downtown Minneapolis and just
three blocks from the hotel. The meeting banquet on Tuesday evening will be
located in the McNamara Alumni Center, immediately adjacent to the Radisson.
Additional details about the meeting will be provided in the July Bulletin.
Registration and housing forms will be available on the Society web page.
Several companies will exhibit rheological instrumentation at the annual meeting.
A poster session will be held on Wednesday evening at the Minneapolis meeting. Abstracts should be submitted using the usual web-based procedure.
A two-day short course on Microfluidics and Microrheology will be offered in Minneapolis, October 12-13, 2002. The instructor is Dr. Andrea Chow of Caliper Technologies Corp. Additional details will be posted on the Society web site as they become available. Registration forms will be included in the July Bulletin.
The Society of Rheology is exemplary in many ways, most of which derive the consistently enlightened and dedicated service of its members, and leaders they have chosen. The advances during the “reigns” of the past two presidents, Ron Larson and Gerry Fuller, are particularly noteworthy. The “bread and butter” functions – the Journal, the annual meetings, and the short courses – continued to gain luster, while the Society its services and activities in substantive ways. These include the “best paper” award, an expanded Rheology Bulletin edited by Rakesh Gupta, web pages of ever-increasing value managed by Albert Co, and electronic access to the Journal, edited by Mort Denn. In addition, important revisions to the constitution, orchestrated by Faith Morrison, added a Member-at-Large to the Executive Committee and changed the rules for the Bingham Award. The former will pay off through additional input on future directions and more members familiar with the functioning of the Society. The latter enables us to recognize profound technical contributions by international members, such as the 2001 Medalist Masao Doi. For this Ron and Gerry, the other officers, the committee members, and the meeting chairs deserve our gratitude.
Of course, both the world in general and the technical world to whom rheology is particularly important are moving quickly, so challenges remain. We must navigate successfully the economic risks associated with the inevitable, but tricky, transition to electronic publishing. Issues include how the dues structure might be used to our benefit and how web usage plays into decisions of libraries to continue or terminate subscriptions. Also we must at least preserve, but preferably continue to increase, the membership. One aspect of this is offering sufficient value, through short courses, the annual meetings, and our publications, to retain and attract industrial members. Another is identifying the role of rheology in advancing technologies to stimulate those at the beginning of their careers, whether industrial or academic, to join. New ideas and the energy to implement them are always welcome.
One step forward in the past year was the implementation of electronic balloting in the election of 2001. Thanks to Albert’s careful work with the web page, votes were cast, collected, and tabulated smoothly. While we judge the process to be a success, the number of ballots cast was down, leaving room for improvement. A variety of ideas have been aired, e.g. adding short bios of the candidates to the web page, sending timely reminders by e-mail to those who have not voted, devising an efficient means of collecting votes for those who do not use e-mail.
I look forward to seeing you in Minneapolis in October!
The winners of the 2001 Journal of Rheology Publication Award are G. Hay, M.E. Mackay, K.M. Awati, and Y. Park for “Pressure and temperature effects in slit rheometry,” Journal of Rheology, 43 (5), 1099-1116 (1999).

75th Annual Meeting
Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania
October 12-16, 2003
76th Annual Meeting
Lubbock, Texas
February 13-17, 2005
The National Institute of Standards and Technology has just brought out “NIST Recommended Practice Guide on the Use of Nomenclature in Dispersion Science & Technology” (NIST SP 960-3). It was developed in part using published terminologies from the American Concrete Institute, the British Standards Institute, the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry, and The Society of Rheology. It also incorporates terminology from current and draft ASTM and ISO standards where appropriate. Complimentary copies can be requested by sending e-mail to vince.hackley@nist.gov
The Rheology Bulletin publishes papers on the applied aspects of Rheology which are intended for the non-specialist. (Archival research papers should be sent to the Journal of Rheology which is also published by the Society of Rheology.) Appropriate topics include the application of rheological principles to a specific system, instrumentation for rheological measurements, description of interesting rheological phenomena, and the use of well-established rheological techniques to characterize products, processes or phenomena. Papers that describe the historical aspects of the practice of rheology and how these may have influenced current trends are welcome. Also welcome are papers that address the present and changing status of rheological education including papers that describe recent or current innovation in the classroom or laboratory. Consultation with the Editor prior to manuscript submission is encouraged.
Papers should ordinarily not exceed about 4000 words in length. SI units should be used, but any standard style of writing may be employed. The article must have a clear message, and the significance of the work must be explicitly stated. Submit two copies of the manuscript at least three months prior to the issue in which publication is desired. The initial decision about suitability of publication will be made by the Editor. Both solicited and contributed papers may be sent to two or more reviewers. If a paper has been published previously in essentially the same form, permission for reprinting must have been obtained from the copyright holder.
If you are moving, please inform Janis Bennett by phone at (516) 576-2403 or by fax at (516) 576-2223. You may also write to her at:
