SPS Recognizes Inspiring Physics Outreach with Blake Lilly Prizes

"I want to be an astrophysicist!" exclaimed a seven-year old girl talking to a graduate-school-bound physics club member during Wooster College's first annual Community Science Day. Wooster, along with four other schools, are recipients of a 2009 Blake Lilly Prize. These annual awards recognize SPS chapters and individuals who make a genuine effort to positively influence the attitudes of school children and the general public about physics.
