Winter 2013 meeting of the American Association of Physics Teachers is taking place in New Orleans, Louisiana. It is always a wonderful event, but this year the list of speakers is just outstanding (AAPT WM 2013 program: http://www.aapt.org/Conferences/wm2013/ ). I am especially happy for the AAPT award winners this year. It is especially important to see how much money is invested in science education (STEM education) in the US. Despite their tough economic situation, their government realizes how important it is to invest into STEM discipline education.

This is my last time to attend AAPT as a BC Section Representative and a member of AAPT Executive Board. This summer AAPT conference will take place in Portland Oregon. I hope many of our BC colleagues will attend.
