| 2001 NPSS AWARDS AND CALL FOR NOMINATIONS FOR 2002 NPSS AWARDS |
| The
Nuclear and Plasma Sciences Society gives three different categories
of awards each year. Some awards are given by the Society and others
are given by the Technical Committees. Completed Nomination Forms
for Society-wide awards should be sent to the Chair of the Awards
Committee whose name and address are listed at the end of this article.
In addition to Society and Technical Committee Awards, NPSS Sponsored
Conferences that have Short Courses will be soliciting nominations
next year for Paul Phelps Continuing Education Grants. These grants
are intended either for tuition in NPSS Sponsored Short Courses, or
for partial or total travel expenses to attend NPSS Short Courses.
These grants are available for outstanding Student Members of NPSS
and unemployed members of NPSS who need assistance in changing career
directions. Completed Nomination Forms for the Paul Phelps Continuing
Education Grants should be sent to the General Chair of the respective
Conference.
The recipients of the Society Awards for 2001 are: Stephen E. Holland of the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory received the Merit Award úFor pioneering work in the development of high-performance Silicon Detectors for medical imaging, astronomy, and high-energy physics and the development of new technologies for optical, x-ray and gamma-ray instrumentationî.
