FIP Sessions and Events at the APS 2013 Spring Meetings

The APS web pages have links to the abstracts and in many cases the presentations themselves.  The links are from the “Epitome” of each meeting, and from there it is easy to find the presentation using the session number and then the specific talk.

Finding the “Epitome” takes a few steps: (1) APS Meetings & Events (2) Archives of the Bulletin of the APS (3) 2013 (4) March or April Meeting 2013 (5) Meeting abstracts (or program) (6) Epitome
