It marks the first time that scientists have been able to observe a cosmic event with both light waves -- the basis of traditional astronomy -- and gravitational waves, the ripples in space-time predicted a century ago by Albert Einstein鈥檚 general theory of relativity.</span></p> Mon, 16 Oct 2017 11:26:19 +0000 laurie.devine@mcgill.ca 32387 at /newsroom /newsroom/channels/news/astrophysicist-vicky-kaspi-wins-top-cdn-science-prize-258612 <p><strong><em>By Chris Chipello,聽</em></strong><em><a href="/newsroom"><strong>黑料不打烊 Newsroom</strong></a></em></p> <p><em>黑料不打烊 researchers Elena Bennett and Yasser Gidi also honoured by NSERC</em></p> <p>The Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada (NSERC) has named 黑料不打烊 University astrophysicist Vicky Kaspi as this year鈥檚 recipient of the Gerhard Herzberg Canada Gold Medal for Science and Engineering, NSERC鈥檚 highest honour, in recognition of the excellence and influence of her research contributions.</p> Mon, 15 Feb 2016 17:48:07 +0000 nima.adibpour@mail.mcgill.ca 25300 at /newsroom /newsroom/andrew-cumming Tue, 26 Feb 2019 16:59:44 +0000 Anonymous 23870 at /newsroom /newsroom/robert-rutledge Thu, 19 Dec 2019 19:35:06 +0000 Anonymous 22584 at /newsroom /newsroom/channels/news/vicky-kaspi-wins-2015-killam-prize-natural-sciences-246500 Mon, 13 Apr 2015 21:30:07 +0000 christopher.chipello@mcgill.ca 22406 at /newsroom /newsroom/channels/news/neutron-star-magnetic-fields-not-so-turbulent-236547 Tue, 06 May 2014 14:54:24 +0000 christopher.chipello@mcgill.ca 20697 at /newsroom
