Student Memberships in Physics Societies

Physics students can become members of the venerable American Physical Society for one year for free! (Student membership fees thereafter are considerably reduced.) Benefits of membership include a subscription to the excellent magazine Physics Today. To apply, contact Dr. Korth for an application, or download one directly from the APS.
