[Guastello, Stephen]

The Society for Chaos Theory in Psychology & Life Sciences is pleased  
to announce one of our guest speakers for the 24th Annual Conference,  
Milwaukee, WI July 31 through August 2:

Julien Clinton Sprott
University of Wisconsin, Madison
will present

Lessons Learned from 19 Years of Chaos and Complexity

Julien Clinton Sprott, worked at the Oak Ridge National Laboratory for  
several years before joining the physics faculty at the University of  
Wisconsin in 1973. His research has been primarily in the area of  
experimental plasma physics and controlled nuclear fusion. In 1989 his  
interests turned to nonlinear dynamics, chaos, fractals, and  
complexity. He has authored or coauthored over 400 scientific papers  
in these and related fields.

Professor Sprott has written a number of books, including  
"Introduction to Modern Electronics", "Numerical Recipes and Examples  
in BASIC," "Strange Attractors: Creating Patterns in Chaos," "Chaos  
and Time-series Analysis," "Images of a Complex World: The Art and  
Poetry of Chaos," "Physics Demonstrations: A Sourcebook for Teachers  
of Physics," and "Elegant Chaos: Algebraically Simple Chaotic Flows."   
He has produced dozens of educational videos and has given his popular  
presentation of "The Wonders of Physics" over 200 times to a total  
audience of over 80,000. He has produced several commercial  
educational software programs, one of which won the first annual  
"Computers in Physics" award for innovative software in physics  
education. He received the John Glover Award from Dickinson College,  
the Van Hise Outreach Award for Excellence in Teaching from the  
University of Wisconsin-Madison, a Lifetime Achievement Award from the  
Wisconsin Association of Physics Teachers, and a Distinguished Service  
Award from the UW Physics Department for his work in public science  
education.

The Call for Papers is open until April 30:
