We’ll be at the Contra Costa College on April 13/14 for our spring conference. We’ll have a social event on Friday, and on Saturday we’ll have our main event.
AAPT has generously renewed the funding that allows us to subsidize dependent care costs for members who otherwise would not be able to attend. We can distribute grants of $75 for parents/caregivers with one dependent or $150 for multiple dependents. Applications are now open for our fall meeting. Please note that we have more requests than resources, preference will be given to new applicants.
On September 1, 2017, Aurelia Long, Berkeley Articulation Officer, provided the update on policies concerning articulating to Cal’s Physics 7 series. Needless to say, it raised some concern.
Save the date, we’ll be at the City College of San Francisco for our fall conference. We’ll have a social event at the Mission Science Workshop on the evening of Friday, November 3, from 6-9 (your arrival and departure times are flexible). On Saturday the 4th, we’ll have our main event. Pre-registration has closed, dues will be $25 at the door.
The Saturday highlights include a Q&A with science author Mary Roach, San Jose State’s Brian Holmes on the Physics of Music, a memorial demo show honoring Paul Doherty and an expert panel on how to best serve our transgendered students. And, of course, there will be a poster session, lots of tacos and Share & Tell.
