Our club’s principal founder, Doug Welch, has been awarded the Royal Society’s McNeil Medal for science promotion. The Hamilton Spectator has a report on it here: Astrophysicist Is Now A Star.

Since arriving at McMaster about 20 years ago, Doug has been a major player and driving force behind public astronomy education in this area.

I am thrilled to hear that he has been given this recognition. Congratulations, Doug!
