Spring 2011 Prizes and Awards

APS Announces Spring 2011 Prize and Award Recipients Forty-three prizes and awards will be presented during special sessions at three spring meetings of the Society: the 2011 March Meeting, March 21-25, in Dallas, TX, the 2011 April Meeting, April 30-May 3, in Anaheim, CA, and the 2011 Atomic, Molecular and Optical Physics Meeting, June 13-14, in Atlanta, GA. Citations and biographical information for each recipient follow. The Apker Award recipients appeared in the December 2010 issue of APS News (http://www.aps.org/programs/honors/ awards/apker.cfm). Additional biographical information and appropriate web links can be found at the APS website (http://www.aps.org/programs/honors/index.cfm). Nominations for most of next year’s prizes and awards are now being accepted. For details, see page 8 of this insert.
