<br>
The APS Texas Section is now accepting nominations for the <strong><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">Robert S.

<br>
Nominations are due Friday, September 14, 2018. The award winners will be announced at the October 19 - 20, Joint Fall Meeting of the Texas Sections of APS, AAPT, and Zone 13 of the SPS, that is being hosted at the <a href="https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__aps.us4.list-2Dmanage.com_track_click-3Fu-3D1c2ffbf7f7d8f7439923005ce-26id-3Dd05813a763-26e-3Daf878e8684&d=DwMFaQ&c=ODFT-G5SujMiGrKuoJJjVg&r=I42YCtb-DNsKKoTFccWK0A&m=y9xWKeDZ_h0cNKvDFCdb7eIvqrB-YKq39_iIU422YaI&s=nGp-3-Oz-BLNoa9j_6qpjWCEBOow2DgO7QAUm6DZ8e8&e=" target="_blank"><span style="color:#004F74">University

<br>
Nominations of women, members of underrepresented minority groups, and scientists from outside the United States are highly encouraged.<br>
<br>
The Texas Section (TSAPS), with over 1,600 members, is one of the largest sections of APS. It includes members from Arkansas, Texas, and Oklahoma, with an appreciable number of members working in other states and outside the U.S.<br>
<br>
Many scientists have contributed to the development of TSAPS. In order to honor these individuals, TSAPS has a call for nominations for the <strong><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">Distinguished Service Award</span></strong>. More information, including
the past award recipients, can be found on <a href="https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__aps.us4.list-2Dmanage.com_track_click-3Fu-3D1c2ffbf7f7d8f7439923005ce-26id-3D5adcb137ad-26e-3Daf878e8684&d=DwMFaQ&c=ODFT-G5SujMiGrKuoJJjVg&r=I42YCtb-DNsKKoTFccWK0A&m=y9xWKeDZ_h0cNKvDFCdb7eIvqrB-YKq39_iIU422YaI&s=9ctOHCD3Rkhc3bztYso_jgTyquHsarwpHI4-n9_3ohk&e=" target="_blank"><span style="color:#004F74">the
