Adopt-a-Physicist connects high school physics students to people with degrees in physics. Through their interactions, students can learn about the careers, educational backgrounds, and lives of a variety of physicists.
The purpose of the Historic Sites initiative is to raise public awareness of physics. Unexpected encounters with an attractive plaque that identifies an important and interesting event in the history of physics will be an effective way of getting physics before the general public. The initiative will also benefit physicists by increasing their own awareness of important past scientific advances, hence of their membership in the historic evolution of their profession.
The APS public lecture series features talks by prominent physicists. Held in conjunction with American Physical Society meetings, past lecturers have included Lisa Randall, Lawrence Krauss, John Bahcall.
