Cuts to federal science agencies are having real consequences. Recent events have affected physicists in many ways, but one thing remains constant: APS stands with you, today and always.
APS' positions on policy issues
Federal investments by agencies such as DOE, NSF, NASA, DOD and NIST are indispensable to the vitality of our nation’s research programs in physics and the physical sciences.
Physicists must make the field more inclusive to ensure a robust future for science and technology in the United States, drawing on the many varied voices and talents in our diverse society.
Science, by its very nature, transcends national boundaries. International scientific collaboration has led to great advances in our understanding of our world, our universe, and our shared global challenges.
