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.
