In addition, there will be a Congressional Visit Day (CVD) prior to the start of the conference. The APS Office of Government Affairs (OGA) facilitates communication between physicists and Congress through CVDs. OGA will assist CVD participants with setting up a meeting with their representative or senator and will provide supporting material on scientific issues of concern.
Phys21 in Practice: Building a Supportive Ecosystem for Innovation and Entrepreneurship in Physics Departments
Members of the APS PIPELINE program, a project which focuses on developing methods to integrate innovation and entrepreneurship education into physics (PIE), will be hosting a half-day workshop immediately following the 2018 Department Chair’s conference in College Park, MD. The workshop will focus on PIE as a mechanism to achieve the goals outlined in the Phys21 report, and develop examples of implementations that you can take back to your campus.
