Definitely ask to be nominated especially if you are from outside the U.S. but also from Universities that you often don’t normally see award recipients. Look at the APS fellows list for names to ask

Will Americans vote for an atheist? Across 4 survey experiments, authors find Democrats favorable, Republicans unfavorable. Importantly, for highly-religious Republicans, even describing the atheist as a patriotic war hero doesn't seem to matter (atheist = 👎).

Absolutely. So many people are disinterested in politics, don’t think about govt, and don’t know how it works—unless there’s a major disruption that affects them directly. We can and should be making a concerted effort to reach them, and I ways that highlight civic duties rather than partisanship.

Scientists find that sexual afterglow can linger for at least 24 hours, and it’s especially powerful when sex is a mutual decision or is initiated by your partner. By contrast, sexual rejection can create a negative ripple effect lasting up to 3 days.

Science confirms the "sexual afterglow" is real — and pinpoints factors that make it linger longer
Good news for couples: the positive effects of sex aren't just in the moment. According to a new study, the feeling of satisfaction after sex sticks around for at least a day, and this "sexual aftergl...

Strongly encourage early career researchers who study diversity to apply for this. It's not just for (social) psychologists!! CASBS + the summer institute are all about interdisciplinary thinking. I was very fortunate to be in the first cohort and felt very empowered by the experience.
