Call for Nominations for 2008 Prize, Awards, and APS-DPP Fellowship

A prize or award presented by APS is one of the highest honors a physicist can receive. The DPP annually solicits nominations for one prize and two awards. Every three years (skip two years) the DPP Katherine Weimer Award solicits nominations. The deadline for receipt of these nominations is Tuesday, April 1, 2008. Please take time to nominate exceptional DPP colleagues.

Anyone other than a member of the committee making the selection may submit one nomination or seconding letter for each prize or award in any given year.

Go to this web address: http://www.aps.org/programs/honors/nomination.cfm for nomination guidelines.

Note: Similar guidelines apply for the 2008 DPP Weimer Award. Please email Catherine Fiore (fiore@psfc.mit.edu) if you have any inquiries about Weimer Award nominations.

The nomination package must be sent to the chair of the appropriate DPP selection committee by Tuesday, April 1, 2008. Acknowledgement of receipt can be emailed to the selection committee chair upon your request. The dissertation award has other requirements in addition to those listed on the APS website, so check for descriptions of the prize and awards for which you are making a nomination.

APS-DPP Fellowship

The Division of Plasma Physics strives to attain a diverse representation of Fellows from all areas of the plasma community. Nominations of traditionally underrepresented groups, such as women, scientists working outside the United States, and minorities, as well as plasma physicists in smaller universities and the private sector are especially welcomed. The deadline for Fellowship nominations from APS-DPP members is Tuesday, April 1, 2008.
