Recommend someone exceptional
We're looking to feature APS members who are making an impact for physics in their community, country, or region. Examples include starting a club, mentoring others, fundraising, or dedicating time to an APS unit — any service in support of physics.
Any APS member is welcome to recommend other APS members who reside outside the United States to be featured — you can even nominate yourself.
