Closeup of glass APS awards.

When I was in graduate school, my advisor told me that I could probably never be a professor because back then women weren’t professors. APS’s prestigious awards are important because they can recognize scientists who break the mold and make a difference in the field. If you know someone like that, I hope you will nominate them for one of APS’s awards.
