The American Institute of Physics (AIP) has announced that physicist, editor and science writer Charles Day will soon assume the role of Editor-in-Chief of Physics Today, an influential and closely followed magazine devoted to physics and the physical science community.
Published continuously since 1948 as AIP's flagship magazine, Physics Today has kept its readers abreast of almost every major development in the field through breaking news stories and in-depth features. Luminary authors who have published in the magazine include dozens of Nobel laureates and scores of other international leaders in research, education and policy. Among these past authors are Albert Einstein, Richard Feynman, Enrico Fermi, Werner Heisenberg and Steven Chu.
Day will become the seventh Editor-in-Chief of Physics Today. Previously, he was a senior editor at the magazine and is currently the online editor, overseeing its Web content and social media strategy. He succeeds Stephen G. Benka, who has led the magazine since 1994.
Besides his work at Physics Today, Day also writes the monthly "Last Word" column for Computing in Science & Engineering, a bimonthly magazine published jointly by IEEE Computer Society and AIP.
