3. APS AWARDS: GOOD NEWS FOR MEMBERS. In honor of the APS
Centennial, Annals of Improbable Research has posted an article
by Scott Sandford, analyzing trends in APS membership and awards.
Membership has leveled off in recent years, while growth in the
number of APS awards has been exponential since 1950. If these
trends continue, there will be one award per member by 13 Apr
2076. At the celebration of the bi-centennial in 2100, there
will be 307,000 awards per member <http://www.improbable.com>.
