Beller Lectureship

The Beller Lectureship provides funding and support to bring distinguished physicists from abroad to present invited talks at APS meetings. Members of the Executive Committees of APS Units and Committees that organize sessions at the APS March and April Meetings are invited each year to submit nominations.

This lectureship was endowed by Esther Hoffman Beller.
