REPORT


90 MRS Président Russell R. Chianelli addresses the audience during the awards cérémonies and plenary session. Meeting Chairs John Bravman, Jeffrey Brinker, and William Butler are recognized for organizing the technical program at the 1990 MRS Spring Meeting. Plenary Speaker Mark D. Zoback, professor of geophysics at Stanford University, questioned théories of earthquake prédiction when he spoke on a topic of substantial local interest, "Some New Views of the State of Stress Along the San Andréas Fault." Poster sessions offer an excellent opportunity for in-depth discussions. Graduate Student Award Récipients— Eleven graduate students from nine universities in three nations were recognized by MRS with awards for outstanding research papers presented in symposia at the 1990 Spring Meeting.

of thèse films were presented along with discussion of their potential use as chemical sensors, optical waveguides and filters, dielectric, ferroelectric, electrooptic, and superconductingmaterials. Finally, an evening rutorial session on Biomimetics introduced the topic of "Ceramic Processing in Natural Systems" to a large number of symposium participants.
