WELCOME
On behalf of APS, I wish you a productive week in physics and science diplomacy to make this
the best March Meeting ever!
Laura H. Greene
2017 APS President
Chief Scientist, National High Magnetic Field Laboratory
Florida State University
T he APS March Meeting 2017 in New Orleans represents the very best
at the frontiers of physics with significant international representation
and diversity making it the largest physics meeting in the world.
It provides a venue for the most current science presentations, available to
all members. Our meeting grows in size, slowly but steadily, unfortunately
pushing the boundaries for available conference sites. Although large,
the benefits of the March Meetings unique format of openness outweigh
difficulties of management which APS is in the process of addressing.
Using the online tools like My Scheduler, look into the variety of sessions, including topics
on entrepreneurship, jamming, meta-materials, topological insulators, iron-based and cuprate
superconductors, quantum simulation, spintronics, graphene, electrons on liquid helium, cell-
migration, climate change, nanoscale heat transport, opto-mechanics, multi-ferroics, qubits, flexible
and stretchable electronics, outreach, national agency support for physics, lunch with the experts, and
much more. Come and listen to our 2016 Nobel Laureates in the special Kavli session on quantum
matter and quantum information.
I welcome you to this years meeting and wish you a very productive and exciting week in physics.

All interested attendees are welcome to participate in Recently, Supreme Court Chief Justice Roberts asked,
a round-table discussion on improving professional What unique perspective does a minority student bring
and educational climate within physics with particular to a physics class? Over the last year, the socio-political
attention to those those who identify as gender and climate has called into question the value of diversity
sexual minorities (LGBTQQIAAP+). We will focus within the larger society. In this session, we provide
on ongoing implementation of the recommendations a resounding and uplifting answer to these questions
from the report LGBT Climate in Physics: Building from a variety of perspectives and affirm why diversity is
an Inclusive Community, released at the APS March critical to the advancement of physics and society.
Meeting in 2016. We will discuss strategies for both
APS-led and grassroots organizing aimed at improving
support for physicists at different career stages and in
diverse environments, including academia, industry
and the public sector. Allies will learn how they may
help to support and mentor LGBT+ physicists and how
the proposed actions can help improve the climate for
a broad cross-section of physicists with intersecting
minoritized identities within our field.
