SUMMARY:The Signal Above the Noise: the Importance of Physics Policy a
 nd Advocacy\, Physics Department Colloquium\, Gregory Mack \, APS Phys
 ics
DESCRIPTION:Science is only one of many competing priorities for polic
 ymakers\, so physicists and members of the physics community must be v
 ocal in order to have their needs met. The American Physical Society's
  Office of Public Affairs (OPA) handles policy and advocacy issues for
  the society in order to foster the progress of the field of physics. 
 OPA's activities range from helping to craft APS policy position state
 ments to going directly to Capitol Hill with APS members to meet with 
 Senate and House offices to advocate for the needs of the physics comm
 unity. This talk will discuss the different aspects of OPA's activitie
 s and how members of the physics community can get involved to help en
 sure a positive future for the field of physics.
