These are all outstanding scientists–George Fuller for his critical work on how stars make the elements we're all composed of, Doug Lin for his pioneering research on the puzzle of how planets form, and Eric Becklin for being one of the investors of modern infrared astronomy. Seeing Eric get recognized is especially important to me–he was my PhD thesis advisor, one of the very best observational astronomers I've ever known, and started me on the road to where I am now. –Bruce Macintosh UCO Director
