Greetings!

Briefly:

  1. Edmonton, Canada, AAPT meeting, $200 stipend for SPS presenters or reporters, deadline July 7, see below for details
  2. SPS seeks publications/web Production Specialist
  3. Send us your chapter report, or just one great picture, to tschwab@aip.org
  4. Velocity, acceleration, and the 3rd derivative is "jerk," but the 4th is "snap," and then crackle and pop? Read more from Sean Carroll's on Cosmic Variance and other physics blogs

The rest is just details, find them below:

1) Join SPS in cool Canada at the Edmonton AAPT meeting; there's even still time to submit a poster abstract for the undergraduate session on Sunday night, and maybe even a $200 travel stipend for presenters or reporters if you act fast.

2) SPS is hiring a publication/web Production Specialist---we already have some great applications but there's still time to get one in the door.

3) Chapter reports are coming in from all over the country. The official deadline was last month, but we'd still love to know what your chapter is up to, so go ahead and send it!

BTW, if you've got a great picture showing members of your chapter in action, send it directly, with a caption, to tschwab@aip.org for possible use in SPS publications.

4) If you have a favorite blog, let me know!
