The 2025 AAPT Summer Meeting will take place in Washington DC from August 2-6. Attendees are discussing their plans to participate, with one individual confirming attendance from August 3 to 6, possibly arriving on August 2 based on airfare. They will present two posters: one on "Force-vs-Position Diagrams to distinguish Conservative and Non-conservative forces" on Sunday evening, and another on "Velocity First, then Speed, Average-Velocity, and Average-Speed" on Monday late afternoon, which includes humor aimed at physics educators. There is also a mention of a Saturday Morning Physics talk by Sean Carroll on "The Many Worlds of Quantum Mechanics," which sparked a lighthearted comment regarding the accuracy of the PhysicsForums logo.

It was a variation of this talk
(with some good timely jokes appreciated by college and high school physics teachers)
Saturday Morning Physics | The Many Worlds of Quantum Mechanics - Sean Carroll

up to about the 41 minute mark. It ended soon after that.

Okay, so this is something I have been thinking about for a long time, because it's something I am passionate about and something that has personally affected me - and that's the generally negative attitude that people take towards physics. I think it's fair to say that the secondary (Middle+ High) school that I go to is one of the most elite in the country - yet I am yet to see another person with a passion for physics. There are countless who have dedicated their life to Chemistry...
