News: APS Innovation Fund

The APS Innovation fund has approved a proposal entitled "Informing and Activating the U.S. Physics Community in Nuclear Threat Reduction." The leaders are Stewart Prager, Alex Glaser, Zia Mian, Frank von Hippel (Princeton University), and Steven Fetter (University of Maryland). We hope it will engage the FPS membership.

Today, the global threat from nuclear weapons remains grave and is worsening. In addition to concerns about existing nuclear arsenals, international tensions continue to rise over the threat of nuclear weapons proliferation. This project will educate and reengage the powerful voice of the physics community and the APS membership on this pressing and globally important issue. A team of experts will visit physics institutions, present overviews, conduct discussions, and build a coalition of volunteers to advocate for nuclear threat reduction measures.

Congratulations to the leaders!
