In the light current state of emergency in Ohio the meeting has been canceled.  We hope that we will see you in the fall at Ohio State University. 

If you have already registered for the meeting the APS will refund your registration fees automatically (you do not have to contact them).  Because of all the extra work related to the meeting cancellations this may take a little while.
