AUSTIN AWARD CEREMONY
Here’s a photo of me with AIP Executive Director Fred Dylla and George Musser, the recipient of the Science Communication award in the adult writing category, for his Scientific American article, “Could Time End?”
My husband and I flew to Austin, TX to receive the Science Communication Award from the American Institute of Physics (AIP) for PLANET HUNTER. AIP’s Fred Dylla and Charles Blue were very gracious in their praises for PLANET HUNTER, and for hosting a lovely cocktail reception and dinner. I met many astronomers and science writers, and visited my dear Austin friend, Debbie Dunn. For those of you who have asked about the AIP’s award-winner’s chair, no, I didn’t carry it home! The hand-carved, mahogany Windsor chair arrived in Brooklyn, replete with the AIP seal and a plaque with my name, the title of the book, and the award. It’s beautiful, and I will treasure it forever.
