OBJECTIVES
Objectives:
As a FIP EC member, my main objective was to bring physicists from the
Third World countries, particularly Asia and Arab, to the scientific network
of the APS at low or free membership fee. Asian (except Japan) and Arab
countries have very poor representation in APS. Physicists from many of
these countries were not aware of existence of APS. I introduced APS with
its wide scientific scopes. But to receive the benefits of APS, all
physicists have to be members.
My proposal, presented at the FIP EC meetings in 2012 and 2013, explained
the need to bring these physicists either through free matching membership
or through a proposed discount APS-United Network (APS-UN) membership. I came
to know about the free FUND membership, hidden and with strict limitation. My
proposal finally succeeded when Amy Flatten of APS made the statement "Sultana,
go ahead and bring your people" and approved to open up the free membership.
Countries of APS membership:
I have been able to bring Physicists from
30 countries (see list of physicists)
who received information on APS membership and became members. Currently I
have a newwork of these physicists from countris:
- Algeria (1), Bahrain (2), Bangladesh (3), Egypt (4), Ethiopia (5), Ghana (6),
India (7), Iran (8), Iraq (9), Jordan (10), Madagascar (11), Malaysia (12),
Morocco (13), Nepal (14), Nigeria (16), Oman (17), Pakistan (18), Palestine
(19), Rwanda (20), Russia (21), Saudi Arabia (22), Senegal (23), Sudan (24),
Syria (25), Tunisia (26), Turkey (27), Ukraine (28), United Arab Emirates (29),
Yemen (30)
U.S. Indonesia Teacher Education Corsortium (USINTEC) at OSU created the
website "Scientists and physicists from Indonesia" to contact Sultana Nahar
