The symposium was held on October 15-16, 2004, at the New York City College of Technology of the City University of New York in Brooklyn. The topical symposium was entitled "Physics of the Microworld: From Quarks to Nanostructures." Physics professor Michael "Bodhi" Rogers proudly watched as his research students were each awarded a $25 prize.
