Cross-Post: American Physical Society Fellers
Posted by
Patricia Knezek
On October 17, Kerstin Nordstrom posted a blog about the relative representation of women among American Physical Society Fellows on the scienceprose.worldpress.com blog. Unsurprisingly, women are underrepresented.
The article opens with: "Are women underepresented as APS fellows? Yes. Is it anyone’s fault? It’s complicated. Is there anything simple that can be done? YES! Any member of APS can nominate a potential fellow starting early in the calendar year, with deadline varying by unit."
