APS announces recipients of M. Hildred Blewett Scholarship

Three women physicists have been named winners of the M. Hildred Blewett Scholarship for Women in Physics for 2008.

The M. Hildred Blewett Scholarship was established from a bequest to the American Physical Society (APS) from M. Hildred Blewett, a particle accelerator physicist. The award enables early-career women to return to physics research careers after having had to interrupt their careers for family reasons.

This year's recipients are Ya Li of Hampton University, Firouzeh Sabri of the University of Memphis, and Janice Guikema of Johns Hopkins University.
