Scholarly #PeerReview is an age-old practice, but publishing is changing it. This #PeerReviewWeek, Rachel Burley, APS Chief Publications Officer, reflects on the future of one of science’s most vital processes. Story by @taryn_mackinney for #APSnews: go.aps.org/3sX4IWm.

Theoretical physicist Geoff Penington (Geoff Penington) has won the 2024 APS Valley Prize for his groundbreaking work in quantum gravity. “We just keep being surprised by how much gravity knows," he says. Read more in #APSNews: go.aps.org/3S8gXKb.

Opinion: In the search for new #physics, a new kind of scientist is bridging the gap between theory and experiment. Read about the rise of the “data physicist” in this op-ed by Ben Nachman in #APSNews: go.aps.org/45F59SU.

December 1934: Emil Rupp’s breakthrough research on canal rays — which fooled even Einstein — was exposed as fraudulent after physicists noticed errors that couldn’t be explained as mere mistakes. Read more in #APSnews: go.aps.org/40UoM8X. Tess Joosse

Big news for #ParticlePhysics! ⚛️ After years of planning, the P5 report is out, outlining the field’s multi-billion-dollar priorities for the next decade and beyond. Learn more in #APSnews: go.aps.org/3NeVaO0. @elizaboatman

Can drones help researchers understand wildfires? At #apsdfd2023, researchers showed off new robotic technologies for studying atmospheric pollution. Learn more in #APSnews: go.aps.org/3vHUQS1. Sophia Chen

In February 1907, Bertram Boltwood used uranium-lead radiometric dating to calculate that Earth is at least 2.2b years old—the first estimate that put Earth’s age in the billions. and his methods are still used today. go.aps.org/3S5mZd1. #PhysicsHistory Tess Joosse

No Wi-Fi, no microwaves: At Green Bank Observatory (Green Bank Observatory) in West Virginia, life is radio silent by design. APS’s newest Historic Site is celebrating 65 years since its first radio telescope came online. Discover more in #APSNews: go.aps.org/47GOrDG.

#OpenAccess aims to let everyone read science — but what happens when people struggle to afford to publish their own? Learn what some in academic #publishing are doing to reduce inequity: go.aps.org/48MVwDv. Shi En Kim, PhD

The backdrop to the universe is a crackle of quantum noise. Researchers have been devising sensors precise enough to take manipulate it to their advantage. Check out my story on recent developments in the technology known as "quantum squeezing." technologyreview.com/2024/02/29/108…

For 125 years, we’ve supported the greatest minds in #physics. But we’re just getting started. As we look to the next 125 years, we aim to be a welcoming global hub for all physicists — where inclusion, collaboration, and respect fuel the future’s biggest discoveries. #APS125

Jocelyn Bell Burnell — whose 1967 discovery of pulsar landed her supervisor a The Nobel Prize — tells young physicists, “Don’t second-guess yourself.” Meet the #CUWiP 2024 keynote speaker in #APSnews: go.aps.org/3TfaNbE. @elizaboatman #InternationalWomensDay

This April, 13- and 17-year cicadas are emerging together for the first time since 1803. Scientists still aren’t sure how the bugs act in unison. Read more in #APSNews: go.aps.org/49qOyV3. Sophia Chen

#OTD in 1972, George Carruthers’ #ultraviolet telescope landed on the moon, becoming the first telescope set up on another planetary body. Discover more about his work at the Naval Research Lab (U.S. Naval Research Laboratory) in #PhysicsHistory: go.aps.org/3PDhW3f.

.The Nobel Prize laureate and physicist Narges Mohammadi, currently imprisoned in Iran, has fought for decades for human rights. Read more about Mohammadi, and the #apsmarch meeting session honoring her, in #APSnews: go.aps.org/4aAMhrt.

#OTD in 1953: A federal scientist, Allen Astin, upheld National Institute of Standards and Technology's rigorous consumer testing results — and was fired for it. Then the nation’s scientists found out. Read about the AD-X2 controversy, and Astin and APS’s defense of science: go.aps.org/3U1z8k5. #PhysicsHistory

145 years ago, Albert Michelson measured the speed of light more accurately than anyone had before. Learn about his groundbreaking work at the U.S. Naval Academy, now an #APSHistoricSite, in #APSnews: go.aps.org/3WSJFkU. #PhysicsHistory

In 1922, Friedmann used #Einstein's theory of general relativity to imagine a changing universe. Einstein found it “suspicious”— but Friedmann was right. Read about the #PhysicsHistory: go.aps.org/3wMDOmq. Tess Joosse

Ninety-seven years ago, Paul Dirac was putting the finishing touches on an elegant equation that took the #TheoreticalPhysics world by storm and laid the foundation for #QuantumElectrodynamics. Read about his The Nobel Prize-winning research: go.aps.org/4f4zaQV
