Join us in exploring emergent themes in PER as a scholarly endeavor and as a research community!  Since its inception, PER has served as a confluence of discipline, theory, research methodology, practice, and application.  How have these facets and the interplays among them been fruitful for physics education globally, regionally, locally, or otherwise?  And, how have our successes and interactions influenced the very nature of PER itself?
Following the lead of AAPT for the summer meeting, PERC 20/20 was virtual. Enjoy browsing the content.

We will provide an update on the status of “PICUP” the “Partnership for Integration of Computation into Undergraduate Physics”. This will include the growth of the PICUP community (of physics teachers like yourself), as well as the resources that PICUP has to offer you. We will also discuss our recent "PICUP Virtual Conference" that was motivated by the current pandemic. This work is funded by the National Science Foundation under DUE IUSE grants 1524128, 1524493, 1524963, 1525062, and 1525525.
