Final ANNOUNCEMENT FOR 2005 GORDON RESEARCH CONFERENCE ON MOLECULAR ENERGY TRANSFER (GRCOMET):

<>The 2005 GRCOMET will take place January 9-14 at the Rancho Santa Barbara Marriott in Buellton, CA (north of Santa Barbara).  This meeting has alternated with the European conference on molecular energy transfer (COMET).  Application information can be found at www.grc.org/programs/2005/molenerg.htm.  A vision statement and speakers list with titles follows.   <>

Understanding the flow of energy within and between molecules is essential to the development of a fundamental understanding of the nature of all chemical processes.
