Slightly belated congratulations go out to our very own John Conway, for being chosen as a Fellow of the American Physical Society. The citation reads as follows:
Conway, John S. University of California, Davis Citation: For outstanding contributions in the search for the Higgs boson and physics beyond the Standard Model at high energy particle accelerators. Nominated by: Particles and Fields (DPF)
And even more belated congratulations to our very own JoAnne Hewett, for being chosen last year, which I totally missed!
Hewett, Joanne Stanford University Citation: For her contributions to our understanding of constraints on and searches for physics beyond the Standard Model, and service to the particle physics community leading studies of future experiments. Nominated by: Particles and Fields (DPF)
This is a great honor, which indicates that the newly-minted Fellow has advanced past a stage of callow youth and cheerful enthusiasm, to a status of grey eminence and profound wisdom. Those of us remaining in the youthful stage will endeavor to show proper respect.
