Such a great story! Congrats @marjeec.bsky.social

The @scienceacademyswe.bsky.social announced today that Francis Halzen will receive the 2026 @nobelprize.org in Physics “for decisive contributions to @icecubeneutrino.bsky.social and the discovery of high-energy neutrinos of astrophysical origin.”

The postwar funding boom in US physics came to a halt at the end of the 1960s, when officials in the Nixon administration made major cuts to the federal science budget. As historian Julia Menzel of @ihpst-uoft.bsky.social notes, the lessons learned then may be helpful to today’s scientists. #histSTM

Learned so much from these outstanding early career scientists and engineers about networking and community building. Thrilled to share their wisdom broadly in @physicstoday.aip.org

When do physicists and astronomers begin their relationships with professional societies? In our new AIP study, 92% of the current early career members first joined as students, underscoring how important student engagement is for the future of societies. www.aip.org/statistics/p...

NBLA has been the longtime holders of photographs from physicist Hertha Sponer’s album from Göttingen. Thanks to a recent project, it is now properly situated as Sponer's, not Franck's collection. https://www.aip.org/library/ex-libris-universum/hertha-sponer-at-gottingen

This week’s @history.aip.org newsletter features excerpts from four of the new oral histories the team has published as part of our Henry Luce Foundation funded initiative to document and celebrate women’s contributions to the physical sciences www.aip.org/history/oral...

New from @aip.bsky.social’s research team: a cross-society report drawing on responses from 2,000+ members across 11 AIP Member Organizations. It offers a insight on funding losses, changes to conference travel, and views on recruiting international STEM talent -> www.aip.org/statistics/c...

Great reparative description story from Elizabeth Wood on the @history.aip.org team about her work to recenter Hertha Sponer as the creator of this Göttingen physics photo album. Restoring names & captions that illuminate connections obscured in earlier records. -> www.aip.org/library/ex-l...

Excited to see Emmeline Ledgerwood’s oral histories of UK government scientists featured in Nature. The interviews provide powerful firsthand accounts of how privatization reshaped scientists’ work & identities. Compelling case for the value of oral history & science. www.nature.com/articles/d41...

Lots of great activity in the latest @history.aip.org monthly update! Especially exciting to see the Nancy Grace Roman Papers now digitized and online to coincide with the launch of the new space telescope. Read it here -> www.aip.org/history/augu...

This is the best piece of reporting I’ve seen so far on what is going on at IMLS. I encourage everyone who cares about the key role that libraries and museums play in the United States to read it. news.artnet.com/art-world/do...
