Colleagues/former colleagues at Argonne,

Item #2 from the WIPHYS posting forwarded below describes the postdoctoral
fellowship program at Argonne, which we can all be proud of.  But all of the
new "named" postdoctoral fellowships are named for men, including George
Beadle, Arthur Holly Compton, Ugo Fano, Nick Metropolis, Willard Libby,
Glenn Seaborg, Harold Urey, Eugene Wigner, and Walter Zinn.  (The already
existing "named" fellowships include the Maria Goeppert Meyer fellowship as
well as the Enrico Fermi fellowship.)  Are women scientists who have had
some connection with Argonne so scarce that we can't find a single one to
name any of the new fellowships after?  I don't think so.  I propose that
under the circumstances we should request that Argonne promptly supplement
this set of new fellowships with at least one additional new fellowship
named specifically for a prominent woman scientist.  What do you think?

> The Director's Office initiated these special postdoctoral
> fellowships at Argonne National Laboratory, to be awarded
> internationally on an annual basis to outstanding doctoral scientists
> and engineers who are at early points in promising careers.  The
> fellowships are named after scientific and technical luminaries who
> have been associated with the Laboratory and its predecessors, and
> the University of Chicago, since the 1940's; these include George
> W. Beadle (biologist), Arthur Holly Compton (high energy particle
> physicist), Ugo Fano (atomic physicist), Nicholas Metropolis
> (computational physicist), Willard Frank Libby (nuclear chemist),
> Glenn Seaborg (chemist), Harold Urey (nuclear chemist), Eugene
> Wigner (theoretical physicist), and Walter H. Zinn (nuclear reactor
> physicist), and will be assigned to the fellowship recipients
> according to the scientific or technical discipline of the
> fellowship holder.  These fellowships complement the existing
> Enrico Fermi and Maria Goeppert-Meyer fellowships at Argonne.

> Candidates for these fellowships must display superb ability in
> scientific or engineering research, and must show definite promise
> of becoming outstanding leaders in the research they pursue. The
> Laboratory intends to award four such fellowships this coming
> year.  Fellowships are awarded for a two-year term, with a possible
> renewal for a third year, and carry a stipend of $70,000 per annum
> with an additional allocation of up to $20,000 per annum for
> research support and travel. The Fellows, who will be competitively

> chemistry, biology, and mathematics and computer science,
> including high-performance computing.

> Scientific facilities such as Argonne's Advanced Photon Source
> (APS) help advance America's scientific leadership and prepare the
> nation for the future. The laboratory is also home to the Intense
> Pulsed Neutron Source (IPNS), the Argonne Tandem Linear
> Accelerator System (ATLAS) and a variety of other smaller user
