© 2017 AMERICAN PHYSICAL SOCIETY This is an extraordinarily exciting time in physics. 2016 saw the confirmation of the existence of gravitational waves, 100 years after Einstein’s prediction. The scientific paper announcing this discovery was published in the APS flagship journal,Physical Review Letters. Following several years after the observational evidence for the existence of the Higgs Boson at CERN, the LIGO announcement continues to confirm that there are exciting physics discoveries ahead.

In 2016, we awarded our first APS Medal for Exceptional Achievement in Research to the distinguished . This past year APS also recognized 50 other prize and award winners for contributions to forefront research, education, and outreach activities. The APS Council elected 248 members to Fellowship in the Society and 146 individuals were honored as Outstanding Referees for APS journals. Representatives from both the APS and European Physical Society (EPS) leadership presented a plaque at the Institute for Advanced Studies in Princeton, designating that institution as the first joint APS/EPS historic site in the U.S.

We have continued our efforts to advocate for a diverse, inclusive community of physicists. The Ad Hoc Committee on LGBT Issues released the LGBT Climate in Physics: Building an Inclusive Community report, with a number of recommendations for making the physics workplace more welcoming and inclusive for LGBT physicists. With the goal of increasing the number of underrepresented minorities graduating with a bachelor’s degree in physics, APS, on the advice of its Committee on Minorities and with the endorsement of the APS Council, has initiated the National Mentoring Community (NMC). The NMC held its second conference at the University of Houston in October, 2016.

In the area of education, I have been exploring how undergraduates might have more opportunities to do research at international facilities, given the declining number of large facilities in high-energy physics in the U.S.

It has been an honor and a privilege to serve as president of the American Physical Society. My sincere thanks are extended to the staff of APS and our outstanding members.

Sincerely yours,

Homer A. Neal 2016 APS President

The APS objective is to advance and diffuse the knowledge of physics, and the Society prides itself on hosting the top collection of physics research journals—the Physical Review family— which publishes the most important physics research. Representing over 54,000 members working in academia, national laboratories, and industry in the U.S. and throughout the world, APS also provides opportunities for our diverse group to support their passions. This past year, advocacy groups for political outreach and industry made a huge impact.
