2010 APS/AAPT Joint Meeting


Where: Washington Marriott, Wardman Park, Washington, DC
When: February 13 - 17, 2010

Thank you!

We could not have had such a successful meeting without the great people-attendees, speakers, poster presenters, volunteers, committee members, section representatives, board members-that were a part of the meeting. We look forward to seeing you in Portland at the 2010 Summer Meeting.

Did you miss the meeting? We've got a sample of what you missed!

Snow trapped you at home? Couldn't get off the days you needed to attend? No worries! We broadcast and recorded some of the AAPT events (below) and you can rewatch them whenever you like.

A multi-organizational meeting

The Winter Meeting will not only have everything that makes National Meetings so great, but also feature concurrent and jointly planned sessions with the American Physical Society (APS).

Betty Preece SEES Memorial Fund: Treat a Student to Physics, Fun, and Food

A dedicated AAPT member and physics educator, Betty Preece was an inspiration to many. Every year during the winter meeting, Betty would purchase lunch for a group of underprivileged students from nearby schools and introduce them to the SEES (Students Exploring Engineering and Science) program, which offers hands-on physics experiments as well as career guidance and some take-home goodies. AAPT is asking for donations, no matter how small, to help bring these students a fun-filled day and the gift of science education.

Donate Now & choose the Betty Preece SEES Memorial Fund to help provide lunch for local DC students
