This Month's Cover...depicts scenes and individuals from past face-to-face AAPT meetings, strikingly evocative and carefree, respectively (or at least so it seems to this editor after more than a year of near hibernation due to the COVID pandemic). Thanks to AAPT staffers Ashauni Lennox for the expert photography and to Jane Chambers for the excellent design for this cover image. – Gary D. White
