© 2019 AMERICAN PHYSICAL SOCIETY When I began my year as APS President in January 2018, I wanted to make progress in three areas: promoting physics, increasing the impact of APS, and ensuring our Society’s future. It is clear that significant impact is largely made only on multi-year timescales and in partnership with staff and volunteers who share common goals. I was fortunate to work with many such dedicated partners at APS, including my predecessor as President, Laura Greene, my successor, , and our CEO, Kate Kirby.

Through the work of our Publisher and Editor in Chief, APS is responding to the important challenge of opening access to scientific publications. This includes negotiating international agreements and expanding our publications. At the same time, we have preserved and articulated our principles, which include the importance of scientific excellence and quality peer-review.

APS’s advocacy work, coordinated by our Office of Government Affairs, is increasingly effective. We have mobilized our members from academia, national labs, and industry to voice their concerns on issues threatening science and scientists. APS’s reputation is excellent, and our input is valued, so we can meet with all relevant organizations, including the executive and legislative branches of government, funding agencies, and foundations.

During 2018, we undertook a broadly consultative and inclusive process of strategic planning. The APS Strategic Plan: 2019 was approved and adopted by the APS Council and Board in November. The high-level plan encompasses all of APS and provides important guideposts as we face challenges and opportunities. It was rolled out at the 2019 Leadership Convocation.

Another significant document, developed by the Ethics Subcommittee of the APS Panel on Public Affairs (POPA), is a statement on Ethics Guidelines. This statement is comprehensive, including guidance on the research record, publications, treatment of colleagues and subordinates, and overall professional conduct. It was sent out for member comment last fall and is in the final stages of editing before being put before Council for approval in April 2019.

Going forward, I am confident of the continued intellectual and fiscal integrity of APS, and our ability to contribute to the global scientific enterprise. New challenges include maintaining a welcoming and open environment for international students, scientists, and collaborations, and encouraging societal interest in discovery and innovation. I know we are well prepared to address these.

Thanks to all my colleagues for their support of APS and the opportunity to serve.

Physics Expanded

Physics—a free, online magazine offering highlights of top papers in the Physical Review journals—continues to raise awareness about research that advances technology, improves understanding of the laws of nature, or simply inspires curiosity. The publication expanded this year by complementing its usual highlights with regular interviews with physicists, articles about the influence of physics on the arts, and news features, such as a story about the physics of life. Physics helps spread the word about exciting results by sharing its articles in a weekly newsletter, and through Twitter and Facebook. The publication also provides a weekly “tip sheet” of press-friendly stories to more than 300 journalists.

American Physical Society 2018 Annual Report 7 Advocate for Physics and Physicists, and Amplify the Voice for Science

Grassroots Advocacy

The APS Office of Government Affairs (OGA) facilitated more than 4,000 APS member contacts with Congress—through op-eds in key states and districts, emails, meetings, and phone calls—to advance the interests of the physics community. Notably, OGA collected more than 1,300 signatures on a petition that successfully opposed legislation that would have decreased the quality and accessibility of student loans. Students delivered the petition in-state to key senators.

Fighting for Federal Research Funding

In an ongoing effort to achieve sustained and robust support for federal science agencies, APS worked with members, and coordinated with other science organizations, to advocate for increased funding through member op-eds and meetings with congressional offices. As a result, key science agencies saw increases from fiscal year 2018 to 2019. Additionally, the President APS Bridge Program students during a meeting on Capitol Hill to discuss the signed the National Quantum Initiative Act into law, which positive impact the program has had on their lives.

PhysicsQuest and Spectra

2018 saw the 13th year of the APS PhysicsQuest program and the 10th issue of Spectra: The Original Laser Superhero comic book. PhysicsQuest delivers a hands-on physics experience to middle school classrooms around the country, reaching 12% of middle schools in 2018. Students in these 20,000 classrooms learned about energy transformation through four hands-on activities. Kits contain all required materials, a student guide, a teacher guide, and a comic book—Spectra’s Energetic Escape. Registration for the free kits filled up in a week.

The associated Spectra comic book uses the activities as part of a story featuring Spectra and her gang. This year they were put through the ringer by Nolen R. Gibbs (N.R.G.) as they tried to win tickets to see the latest boyband, the Free Radicals. The comics, which teach physics without using explicit pedagogy, are distributed both through the kits and through comic book conventions across the country.

28 American Physical Society 2018 Annual Report OUR VISION

To excel as a leading physics society, we will

Be the authoritative advocate for physics;

Publish world-leading journals in physics and related sciences;

Convene vital meetings, conferences, and workshops;

Engage and support the next generation of physicists;

Foster equity and inclusion, and increase diversity in all its dimensions; and

Expand public appreciation of physics and its many contributions.

OUR VALUES

The core values that drive our mission are:

THE SCIENTIFIC METHOD We believe that the success and credibility of physics come from systematic observation, measurement, and experiment, and the formulation, testing, and modification of hypotheses leading to the development of theory.

TRUTH AND INTEGRITY The welfare of physics and the physics community requires that we act honestly, ethically, and with professional integrity in the conduct and reporting of physics.

DIVERSITY, INCLUSION, AND RESPECT Diversity in all its dimensions is an asset to physics and we are committed to full and respectful participation by everyone.

PARTNERING, COOPERATION, AND OPEN COLLABORATION As physics benefits from being a global endeavor, we seek to create the conditions for free and open scientific exchange across national boundaries and political and ideological divides.

SPEAKING OUT Recognizing that good science benefits society, we speak out on issues where scientific evidence and expertise can inform the debate.

EDUCATION AND LEARNING The practice of physics involves lifelong learning and rigorous scholarship; we are committed to providing a community that values education at all levels and promotes open scientific discourse. American Physical Society One Physics Ellipse College Park, MD 20740 www.aps.org
