2022 CAP Medal and Award Winners
The Canadian Association of Physicists (CAP) and its medal partners are pleased to announce the recipients of the 2022 CAP medals.
A series of virtual plenary medal talks to honour the 2022 medal recipients will be organized for the latter half of January. Once the dates have been finalized, the detailed talk schedule will be posted on the CAP's website and a NewsFlash will be released. The medals will be forwarded to all recipients with the congratulations of the community.
