Physics Resources

The American Institute of Physics (AIP) offers quite a bit of information on current trends in physics, and the role physics can play in modern society. It is also home to a host of professional physics societies, many of which are listed below.

The AIP is also home to the Society of Physics Students, a group promoting the development and interests of students in the sciences - primarily Physics.

Other Sites of Interest

Here's a great site for astronomical images and links to other Astro sites: the SEDS site. By the way, SEDS stands for "Students for the Exploration and Development of Space."
