APS and Government

With a new US President and a new US administration, what does this mean for APS and government affairs? APS TV speaks to Interim Director of Government Affairs at APS, Mark Elsesser to find out about policy priorities like research relief funding due to the pandemic and also increases for the federal science agencies through the appropriations process. We hear plans to end sexual harassment in STEM, policy changes for visas and immigration to provide a path to a green card for international students who earn an advanced STEM degree from a US institution, as well as addressing the liquid helium crisis and tackling methane emissions and climate change.
