Save the date: ASA Fall Meeting 2013 in San Francisco, Calif., Dec. 2-6
The sizzle of melting polar ice, the deafening roar of a Formula 1 engine, and the mechanics of tongue twister trip-ups will feature alongside killer whales' night-time hunting ploys, the acoustics of disco dining, and efforts to squelch the squeak of subway wheels at a major international meeting on the science of sound in San Francisco, Calif.
The 166th Meeting of the Acoustical Society of America (ASA), to be held Dec. 2-6, 2013, at the Hilton San Francisco Union Square, will feature more than 1,100 presentations on sound and its applications in physics, engineering, and medicine. Reporters are invited to attend in person for free (see details below).
Journalists may also remotely access meeting information with ASA's World Wide Press Room, which will go live one week before the conference begins.
