It was announced at the end of last week that the 2016 Rutherford Medal of the Institute of Physics was awarded to Professor John Simpson, of Daresbury Laboratory. The award cites his contributions to the understanding of atomic nuclei, particularly in the high-angular-momentum regime, and through his leadership in associated detector development.
The picture attached to the post features John, though if you don't know what he looks like, you're hardly going to find him in it. It's a picture take from before my time in nuclear physics, at Daresbury Laboratory, before nuclear accelerator facility was closed down. John is wearing a white top, to the left of the centre of the detector, as the camera is looking at it.
Congratulations, John!
