On 12 December 2012, CIMSS Director Steve Ackerman welcomed participants and audience to the first CIMSS Science Symposium. Held in the Marquee Theater of Union South, the Symposium was the first of what is hoped to be a biannual event where CIMSS researchers can present brief descriptions of their latest and ongoing work.<\/p>\n

In its early days, CIMSS was much smaller \u2013 the entire organization was located on the 2nd Floor of the Atmospheric, Oceanic, and Space Sciences (AOSS) Building. \u201cIt was easy for folks to run into each other,\u201d Ackerman said in his opening remarks. \u201cWe could see what each other was doing, and collaborate. Then we expanded up to the 4th Floor and things became more challenging. Now we\u2019re spread out to 2, 4, 6 and 10. Connections have to be made purposefully.\u201d<\/p>\n

An annual Poster Session for researchers in the AOSS Building is now a regular event, with its third year coming up soon. Periodic bagel and coffee breakfasts in the Library help with cross-communication.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe more interaction we can achieve, the better,\u201d Ackerman said. \u201cThis Symposium is dedicated to talking about new things that are happening in our building.\u201d Eight presentations were chosen for this first CIMSS Symposium.<\/p>\n

Video recordings<\/a> of each presentation are available on YouTube.<\/p>\n
