AAPT Participating in the AAAS SEA Change Professional Society Pilot
AAPT has been selected to be one of four participating organizations in the SEA Change initiative. Early in 2021, AAAS (American Association for the Advancement of Science) accepted proposals from science, technology, engineering, mathematics, and medicine (STEMM) professional societies to participate in a systemic change initiative called SEA (STEMM Equity Achievement) Change. SEA Change provided an award of $10,000 to each organization to participate in the adaptation and piloting of the SEA Change self-assessment and action planning framework. The AAPT Board of Directors has made a $10,000 match to support completing the AAPT self-assessment. Read More.
Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion at AAPT - An Update from the DEI Task Force
Thanks to the DEI Task Force's commitment and collaboration with Brevity & Wit we are now at the point of sharing our DEI vision and results from the membership survey and focus groups and are giving you a peek into what to expect next. We led two sessions jointly with the AAPT President and CEO at SM22 designed to provide context and information and promote dialogue on our work thus far. We received valuable feedback. People who attended the session commented on how they were pleased to see more explicit language in the vision than they had expected and more progress than they realized was happening.
If you missed the two sessions at SM22, don't worry! We will be offering a webinar in mid to late August to share the same information and get additional feedback. More information about the date of the webinar and how to sign up to attend will be coming soon. A recording of the webinar will be posted on COMMUNITIES. You will also be hearing more from us in the August quarterly DEI update. We expect to share the August quarterly DEI update by mid-August.
In the meantime, feel free to reach out to
Catherine Herne, David Marasco, Beth Cunningham if you have any questions. Thank you for your continued support and commitment to making AAPT a more diverse, equitable, and inclusive organization.
Call to Area Committees and List Serves - AAPT COMMUNITIES
As you know, AAPT is retiring its Lyris list serves.
If you chair an Area Committee or run one of the list-serves, and are interested in creating a group on COMMUNITIES, please get in touch with us. This may be the best way to create a "friends of the committee" group going forward. Using this method, the Chair could set the default delivery option for the group to Real-Time, which would most accurately mirror the current list serve model. These groups would be open for any AAPT member to join. We would like to start with a handful of these groups as a pilot program to see how it works. If you are interested, please reach out to Mike Hall (mhall@aapt.org).
For those who do not choose to create a dedicated group on COMMUNITIES, you can still use the platform to let AAPT members know about your activities by posting in the General Community. We encourage all AAPT members to visit the AAPT COMMUNITIES platform and follow the Tag for any committee that you are interested in. Likewise, we encourage Committee Chairs to use this tag when posting information relevant to your committee.
Join Us for the AAPT Virtual Coffee Hour and Remote Instruction Share-a-thon

New Open Letter: "Increase Investment in Accessible Physics Labs"
The AAPT Committee on Laboratories assembled a task force whose charge was to write an open letter to the physics education community calling for increased investment in accessible lab courses. In exploring ideas and strategies for improving accessibility, the task force recognized that the development of multiple pathways for laboratory investigation creates opportunities to expand learning opportunities for more students in physics lab programs. The task force identified two types of investment, proactive and reactive investment. Strategies for increasing proactive investment are outlined for six target groups: physics lab instructors and staff, physics education researchers, physics departments, online physics content creators, physics conference planners, and member societies. The intended audiences for this document consist of undergraduate physics students, staff, and faculty, especially those who have direct stake in laboratory courses; physics departments; and member societies, including AAPT. The whitepaper is available here.
AJP and TPT seek papers and editors for issues on the physics of environment, sustainability, and climate change

Online PICUP Integrating Computation Workshop August 2-4
The Partnership for Integrating Computation in Undergraduate Physics (PICUP) is hosting a virtual workshop this summer on integrating computational activities into introductory physics courses.
The synchronous workshop meetings will take place August 2-4, and will be preceded by an asynchronous period during which participants will work through some interactive materials.
Registration is now open. Details on the program and registration can be found here: compadre.org/PICUP/events/2022VirtualWorkshop/. The registration deadline is July 19.
Please note that this workshop is intended for those who have not already introduced computation into their intro courses. And absolutely no prior programming experience is expected of participants. Thus, it is a good opportunity for you to encourage colleagues to participate who may be hesitant, skeptical, or unsure about using computation in the intro courses, or simply have never considered introducing intro students to computation via activities or assignments.
The scope of this workshop is appropriate for introductory college and high school physics courses. All college and high school physics educators are encouraged to participate.
