In May, the American Institute of Physics presented its 2001 Andrew Gemant Award to Lawrence Krauss at a meeting of the American Physical Society’s division of particles and fields, held in Williamsburg, Virginia.

AIP recognized Krauss for his “excellence in the interpretation of physics to the public through numerous newspaper and magazine articles, books, lectures, and television productions.” He was especially commended for his “communication of sound scientific literacy through timely opinion pieces and books” and for his “efforts to address incorrect popular interpretations of science disseminated in the mass media.” Krauss is the Ambrose Swasey Professor of Physics, professor of astronomy, and chairman of the physics department at Case Western Reserve University.
