I thought I'd share the information that May 30 is the last day to register
for the AAPT Summer meeting in Denver at the lowest registration fee of
$90. After that date it goes up to $110 until July 18, then up to $140.
The meeting is Aug. 11 - 16 (Monday - Saturday).
If you are interested in including environmental issues in physics courses,
a good session with that title will be held on Saturday morning, Aug. 16.
Invited speakers (speaking late in the morning) are:
- Al Bartlett, from the U of Colorado (giving a new talk on population),
and these high school teachers:
- Fred Carrington (wilderness: Fred takes his physics students into the
wilderness and applies physics to survival there and teaches appreciation
),
- Art Eisenkraft (useful electrical devices for homes in third world
countries, in the Active Physics curriculum).
The AAPT Winter meeting is in New Orleans from Jan. 3 - 8. Next summer the
meeting is at Northern Arizona University in Flagstaff (where housing is
considerably cheaper than at Denver) or the University of Nebraska at
Lincoln.
Cheers,
Jane
