Rolf Binder is Named an APS
Outstanding Referee for 2010
Once each year, the American Physical
Society recognizes scientists who have been exceptionally helpful in
assessing manuscripts for publication in APS journals. Selection for
the Outstanding Referee designation is based on the quality, number
and timeliness of their reports, without regard for membership in
the APS, country of origin, or field of research. The American
Physical Society is one of the world's largest professional body of
physicists, representing over 45,000 physicists in academia and
industry in the US and internationally. Congratulations, Rolf, on
joining an elite group of outstanding referees -- Dick Powell and
Robert Shelton have also received the prized designation.
Jim Wyant is Named an Honorary Member
of OSK
OSK, the Optical Society of Korea, has
made Jim Wyant an Honorary Member. Congratulations, Jim.
