This month
This month we’re highlighting new research on professional society membership, our Physics Trends Flyers, and an important policy development affecting international students in the US.
See how professional society participation differs among current, former, and never members—and what early-career PhDs say about membership.

Each Fall and Spring semester, we print a set of Physics Trends flyers to distribute to all physics and astronomy departments. Now you can see the entire collection on one page.
The ruling put on hold DHS’s plan to cap international student stays at four years, but did not resolve the uncertainty facing international students considering studying in the US.
We want to keep you informed on the state of education and the workforce in the physical sciences. If you have questions, please reach out to stats1@aip.org or reply to this mailing.
