The American Physical Society (APS) has issued its list of the newest members to be elected to Fellowship. Each new fellow is elected after careful and competitive review and recommendation by a fellowship committee on the unit level, additional review by the APS Fellowship Committee and final approval by the full APS Council. Only half of one percent the total APS membership is selected for Fellowship in the Society each year. This year among the list of 215 new fellows are two outstanding SLAC employees.
