2025 Idaho/Utah Section Report

Section Representative: Larry K. Smith, Snow College Department of Physics

Section Meeting: The 2025 meeting of the Idaho/Utah section was held at Brigham Young University – Idaho on March 28–29 in Rexburg, Idaho, with about 50 attending. On the evening of Friday, March 28, a banquet was held with a popular demo show afterwards. Demos where shared by many people representing various institutions. A good time was had by all.

On Saturday, March 29, Matt Zachreson, planner and organizer of the conference, welcomed everyone.

Lunch was concurrent with a poster session and the section business meeting was held at 1:00. COVID-19 (and the cancellation of section meetings 2020, 2021, and 2022) derailed the planning of future meetings and the list of expected section officers. Rhett Zollinger (U of U) will become the next president and host in 2026.

Next Section Meeting: University of Utah in April of 2026 planned by Rhett Zollinger. We plan to vote on updates to the section bylaws to better plan for section office holders in the future.
