PION: Physics In Our Neighborhood

PION was formed at a December 1994 regional meeting hosted by the Committee on Education of the American Physical Society. We meet a few times per year, excluding summers and months with AAPT regional meetings. We hope that those who teach physics at any level in Lake, Marin, Mendocino, Napa, Solano, and Sonoma counties will join us, and we welcome any from other places who would like to participate. Other physicists who would like to share their expertise with teachers are also invited.

Membership

Membership is informal. A list of members with schools and e-mail addresses is available. If you wish to be added or deleted or to correct or update your entry please contact Dave Lapp.
