The High Energy Astrophysics Division (also known as HEAD) has announced that it is awarding its 2022 Early Career Prize to Ohio State University's Prof. Laura Lopez.

This prize honors people who have made a significant advance or accomplishment (observational or theoretical) in High Energy Astrophysics by an individual astrophysicist within 10 years of receiving their PhD. In specific, Prof. Lopez was cited "for her novel and sustained contributions to our understanding of supernova remnants and compact objects in the local Universe as well as her pioneering considerations of stellar feedback in HII regions." 

Congratulations, Prof. Lopez!
