LPL Associate Staff Scientist Veronica Bray and her husband Karl Durfey welcomed baby girl Autumn Elsie Durfey into the world on March 6, 2015. Autumn arrived at 7lb, 9oz. Veronica reports that, "she’s very easy going and smiley so far (phew!!!)." Congratulations, Veronica and Karl!

Two LPL staff members were honored at the awards banquet for the Women in Science and Engineering (WISE) program this spring.

A display highlighting LPL’s work on asteroids and meteorites has been constructed by Dolores Hill and installed in U.S. Representative Martha McSally’s office in Washington, D.C. University of Arizona President Ann Weaver Hart officially presented the display to Rep. McSally on April 22.

We are pleased to welcome two more community leaders as new members of LPL’s External Advisory Board: Dr. Norman Komar and Dr. Xenia King.
