Issues directly affecting the human condition—food production, health, energy, education and applications of physics will all be discussed in sessions at the annual joint meeting of the American Physical Society and the American Association of Physics Teachers. The four‐day meeting, starting on 29 January (running Wednesday through Saturday), will take place mostly at the Anaheim Convention Center in Anaheim, California, a southeastern suburb of Los Angeles and the home of world‐famous Disneyland. The gatherings not being held at the Convention Center will be most APS–AAPT joint sessions and all AAPT meetings, to be conducted at the nearby Royal Inn.
