Official confirmation has now been received (after a few days of unofficial reports…) that Dr. Elisabetta Boaretto of the Joint BIU/WIS Program in Archaeological Science and a regular member of the Safi team in the last few years (see, e.g., here), will be awarded a very prestigious award by the European Physical Society (Nuclear Physics Division) – The 2011 IBA Europhysics Prize for Applied Nuclear Science and Nuclear Methods in Medicine!!!
The award will be presented at an official ceremony in Leuven, Belgium at the end of May.
Congratulations to Lisa – well-deserved for her groundbreaking (and backbreaking!) work in the advancement of the use of Carbon 14 dating in archaeology!
