Dear Statistical and Nonlinear physics colleagues:
I forward below a call from the American Journal of Physics for papers showing examples at the undergraduate level of the use of fundamental concepts and techniques in modern research contexts. Our field is rich in such examples. Please see the email below.
Regards, Narayanan Menon
The American Journal of Physics invites submissions for a special issue, *Motivating physics learning through research applications*, with a submission deadline of December 31, 2025. This issue will share how concepts from the undergraduate curriculum are applied in research, with the goal of providing instructors with examples to motivate students to learn these topics. Papers in this issue won’t explain entire research problems, but, rather, will share examples from the research process that illustrate the use of specific topics in undergraduate physics. You might think about what concepts are most important for new students in your lab to understand, or what process you love to explain to new students because they recognize its connection to what they learned in class. For more information, see the call for papers.
