Spring 2012 Prizes and Awards

APS Announces Spring 2012 Prize and Award Recipients Thirty-four prizes and awards will be presented during special sessions at three spring meetings of the Society: the 2012 March Meeting, February 27-March 2, in Boston, MA, the 2012 April Meeting, March 31-April 3, in Atlanta, GA, and the 2012 Atomic, Molecular and Optical Physics Meeting, June 4-8, in Orange County, CA. Citations and biographical information for each recipient follow. The Apker Award recipients appeared in the December 2011 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 pages 8 of this insert. 2012 Prizes, Awards and Dissertations
