The DLS sponsored the 9th New Laser Scientist Conference (NLSC), a 1½ day mini-conference for new faculty and scientists doing laser related research, in conjunction with the October, 2016 FiO/LS meeting of the OSA/DLS in Rochester, NY. The NLSC helps to establish a peer group for new laser scientists in the DLS and includes roundtable discussions as well as interactions with past funding program managers. This conference is designed to benefit new faculty and scientists who are within a few years of their first permanent appointment. NLSC-9 was coordinated by Jason Jones (University of Arizona) and Thomas Weinacht (Stony Brook University).
