Every year the APS chooses two recipients of the LeRoy Apker Award for undergraduate research, one from a PhD-granting institution and one from a college that does not grant PhD’s. The recipients are chosen from six finalists, who this year assembled in Washington on September 4th to be interviewed by the Apker selection committee, chaired by former APS President James Langer. Shown, left to right, are: S. Charles Doret (Williams College), Simon Sponberg (Lewis & Clark College), Jesse Thaler (Brown University), Lisa Larrimore (Swarthmore College), Rizal Hariadi (Washington State University), and Jason Alicea (University of Florida). The two recipients will be announced in next month’s APS News.
