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

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.
Too many people on here seem to believe there are exactly two kinds of Americans: ardent politically-obsessed Bluesky users, and frothing MAGA cultists.
There are a LOT of people in this country who *just don’t pay a lot of attention one way or another*.
And we absolutely can reach them.

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...

This. If you invite 40 people to a 2 hour meeting, or get them to complete 2 hrs of paperwork, you’re effectively ‘spending’ 2 weeks’ worth of productive institutional time…
Higher ed is pretty bad at valuing people's time. This is one manifestation of that.
One thing I wish more administrators would do is use tools like this to calculate the costs of the requests they're making, instead of operating as if time in infinite and free.
