Several new APS awards are making their debut this year, and those interested are urged to get them off to a good start by nominating worthy candidates.
First up is the Stanley Corrsin Award in Fluid Dynamics, intended as a mid-career award, for which the nomination deadline is May 31. Two new awards with deadlines of July 1 are the Landau-Spitzer Award in Plasma Physics, which will be administered jointly with the European Physical Society, and the Henry Primakoff Award for Early-Career Particle Physics, which will recognize outstanding research in elementary-particle physics performed by a physicist who has held the PhD for no more than 7 years, plus any career breaks.
A new dissertation award in theoretical particle physics, with an October 1 deadline, will complement the Tanaka Dissertation Award for experimental particle physics.
In addition, an award administered by the Committee on Education will recognize programmatic excellence in undergraduate physics education.
