In May: "American Institute of Physics Recognizes Illinois Wesleyan." Oct: "Physics Professors Recognized for Efforts to Increase Understanding, Appreciation of Field," celebrating work with AAPT. Now APS: "Physics Department Awarded for Improving Undergraduate Physics Education"

The #PhysTEC Networks RFP is now open to support a second cohort of collaborative networks working to strengthen the recruitment and preparation of highly qualified high school physics teachers. Learn more and apply here phystec.org/opportunities/. #PhysicsEducation #ITeachPhysics

Save the date for the 2026 AAPT Summer Meeting, happening July 19-22, at the Pasadena Convention Center in Pasadena, California, with pre-meeting workshops on July 18-19. Learn more at ow.ly/COF850Yfh8N #AAPTSM26 #AAPTConference #AAPTMeeting #ITeachPhysics

I've passed the presidential gavel to Debbie Andres, the youngest president in the history of AAPT (Woot!). She has earned EVERY BIT of our confidence, trust, and respect. In my view, she is absolutely the right person for the coming year. All of us, together, make a difference

Heading to a meeting of the American Association of Physics Teachers. More than ever, I consider this a magical community. #ITeachPhysics

If you are attending #AAPTWM26, reserve your room at the Horseshoe Las Vegas hotel. Mention the AAPT room block and reserve your space by December 12th. ow.ly/JGhA50X1Ke9 #AAPTConferences #AAPTMeeting

@AAPTHQ I've made my own donation today, with gratitude for a commitment from past AAPT Board members to match all donations made to AAPT today, up to $ 10K. #ITeachPhysics

Support AAPT this #GivingTuesday! When you donate, you contribute to every part of physics education, helping students and educators, in shaping the future of science. AAPT is proud to match every dollar you donate, dollar for dollar. Donate now! 🔗 tinyurl.com/isupportaapt

This Physics outreach truck is now just outside the Center for Natural Sciences at @IL_Wesleyan University, ready for student engagement! #ITeachPhysics

It's Fall Break Day today: about half my students are at a U.S. Department of Energy national lab; another set is touring a local manufacturer that makes robotics for Mitsubishi, etc. @IL_Wesleyan provides our students with wonderful communities of engagement.

Into the breach once more! Our message includes that (a) Science has been and must be good for our nation, and that (b) we ought to be working to broaden participation in science. #AAPT #AIP

Looking forward to further collaboration with Wolfram on resources (see QR code below) for teaching within Illinois Wesleyan University's 11-course Concentration in Quantum Science & Technology. #ITeachPhysics

If you have the capacity to do so, support us by becoming (or continuing as) a dues-paying member of AAPT and/or coming to our next national meeting, to enhance (and learn from) this community, as we piece together our next steps. #ITeachPhysics
