2022 AAPT Winter Meeting
The 2022 AAPT Winter Meeting will be held virtually January 6-8. However, presentations will be live and not pre-recorded as previous AAPT virtual meetings.
This meeting is a great opportunity to explore sessions and workshops designed with your professional development in mind. Present your research and exchange ideas on the latest in teaching and pedagogy. Participate in a wide range of events, activities, plenaries, and so much more, connecting you with peers and colleagues who share your commitment to excellence in physics education. Please note that poster presentations will be handled like contributed talks, therefore presenters will be given 8 minute talks with 2 minutes for Q&A.
Lillian McDermott Medal
We had earlier notified you that during the Spring AAPT Board of Directors’ (BOD) meeting, the AAPT Board voted unanimously to remove Robert A. Millikan’s name from the award that recognizes “those who have made notable and intellectually creative contributions to the teaching of physics.” This decision follows the recent decision by Cal Tech to remove Millikan’s name from buildings based on his participation in the eugenics movement through affiliation with the Human Betterment Foundation, an organization which supported eugenic sterilization research. The BOD then sought nominations from AAPT members for renaming the award. Based upon nominations from members, at the Summer AAPT BOD meeting, the BOD unanimously approved renaming the award to Lillian McDermott Medal with the citation “Lillian McDermott Medal recognizes those who are passionate and tenacious about improving the teaching and learning of physics and have made intellectually creative contributions in this area”. We anticipate that the first Lillian McDermott Medal will be awarded at the Summer 2022 AAPT Meeting. For more information and to nominate someone click here.

COMMUNITIES - Question of the Month
Introductory Physics - Motion or Optics First?
Why do most introductory physics courses (and their textbooks) start with mechanics--the study
of motion? Historically, optics developed well before mechanics. In the 1960s, the PSSC curriculum started with optics, until teachers rebelled. Nowadays, a few educators start with modern physics topics. What is the evidence that one way is more effective than the others? share your answer!
Call to Area Committees and List Serves - AAPT COMMUNITIES
As you know, AAPT is retiring its Lyris list serves.
If you chair an Area Committee or run one of the list-serves, and are interested in creating a group on COMMUNITIES, please get in touch with us. This may be the best way to create a "friends of the committee" group going forward. Using this method, the Chair could set the default delivery option for the group to Real-Time, which would most accurately mirror the current list serve model. These groups would be open for any AAPT member to join. We would like to start with a handful of these groups as a pilot program to see how it works. If you are interested, please reach out to Mike Hall (mhall@aapt.org).
For those who do not choose to create a dedicated group on COMMUNITIES, you can still use the platform to let AAPT members know about your activities by posting in the General Community. We encourage all AAPT members to visit the AAPT COMMUNITIES platform and follow the Tag for any committee that you are interested in. Likewise, we encourage Committee Chairs to use this tag when posting information relevant to your committee.
AAPT Author Series
Join us for the next AAPT Author Series on Tuesday, November 9 at 7:00 pm ET on the Communities platform. Meet author Rebecca Vieyra, and join in on a discussion about the Teaching High School Physics book series, published by AIP Publishing. Moderator: Laura McCullough, University of Wisconsin - Stout
2023 AAPT Winter Meeting Update
The 2023 AAPT Winter Meeting has been scheduled for Portland, Oregon on January 14-17, 2023 at the Hilton Portland Downtown.

Learn Quantum Information Science
Break down the content silos and embrace STEM! What do the following have in common: chemistry, physics, astronomy, computer science, technology, engineering, and math? The common denominator is quantum information science (QIS) and it is the basis for everything around us including lasers, medical equipment, and cell phones. A NSF grant is funding opportunities for STEM HS teachers to learn about QIS so they can prepare students for the future by adding a little quantum to your current curriculum. Tweaking current topics will increase student interest and keep you "in the know". We are in the 2nd quantum revolution, so if you missed the first one, don't miss it again! For more information go to https://quantumforall.org/quantum-opportunities/ and apply to be a part of this unique opportunity. Enrollment is limited due to funding limitations.
