The Apker Award is given annually to two students for outstanding research as an undergraduate. One award is for a student at an institution granting a PhD degree; the other goes to a student at an institution that does not grant a PhD. The recipients are chosen from six finalists, three in each category, who assemble in Washington in September for a day of interviews with the selection committee. Shown here after the long day of interviews had ended are: (l to r): Nathan Hodas (Williams College); Joseph Checkelsky (Harvey Mudd College); Yuk-yan Lam (MIT); Ibrahim Cisse (North Carolina Central University); Matthew Pysher (Colgate University); and Jonathan Heckman (Princeton University).
