Margaret Tolbert from NAI’s University of Colorado, Boulder Team, is receiving the 2007 UC-Boulder Hazel Barnes Prize. This prize is the University’s most prestigious faculty award. Tolbert has earned it, UC-Boulder has announced, “for her contributions to understanding the chemistry and climate of planetary atmospheres, including past and present,” and “for her teaching and research efforts with undergraduates and graduate students, 15 of whom have won prestigious NASA and Environmental Protection Agency fellowships in recent years.” http://www.colorado.edu/news/releases/2007/129.html Congratulations Margaret!
