AAS Honors Prof. Bloom
The American Astronomical Society’s 2009 Newton Lacey Pierce Prize for 2009 has been awarded to
Joshua Bloom, an associate professor of astronomy, for his work in exploring and understanding the nature of gamma-ray burst sources.
The prize is given to an astronomer under the age of 36 for outstanding achievement in observational astronomical research based on measurements of radiation from an astro-nomical object. Bloom, who earned his doctorate at Caltech in 2002, joined the Berkeley faculty in 2005.
