We’d like to use this opportunity to thank the outgoing Office Bearers and welcome the new Committee. The Committee will be helping the AIP to promote the role of physics in research, education, industry and the community, organize AIP events and meet every month.

The AIP WA Branch Committee held its last meeting of 2021 on the 14th December farewelling the old and welcoming the new committee and have already begun to plan some events for 2022.

We highly value our WA physics community and are most keen to hear of any ideas you may have. We would welcome any contribution that promote and/or strengthen physics in WA.

We hope to see you at one or more of the events during the year.
