Richtmyer, a physicist, teacher, and administrator, who was a founder and president of AAPT. The Richtmyer Award will be presented to Rubin at the winter meeting of the AAPT on 22 January 2008, in Baltimore. She will deliver a keynote address at the meeting entitled “Rotating Galaxies and Dark Matter.” For more information, see the CIW release.
