Philipp Heck Elected As Meteoritical Society Fellow
The 2024 class of Meteoritical Society Fellows was announced in April, and the list of 11 names includes Negaunee Integrative Research Center Senior Director and Robert A. Pritzker Curator of Meteoritics and Polar Studies Philipp Heck. Philipp was honored for his significant contributions to the study of presolar grains and fossil meteorites, development of atom probe tomography techniques for cosmochemistry, and his service to the community through his curation work at the Field.
Nominations are submitted by members, and the Leonard Medal Committee reviews those nominations and makes a recommendation to Council. Fellows are elected in even-numbered years, and no more than 1% of the membership can be elected for each class. The 2024 Fellows will be recognized at the annual Meteoritical Society, which will be held in Brussels, Belgium, from 28 July – 2 August, 2024. Read more on the Meteoritical Society website.
