Professor Friedman Awarded the Humboldt Research Award

Michael Friedman has been awarded the Humboldt Research Award by the German Alexander von Humboldt Foundation.  

These awards honour the academic achievements to date of internationally recognized scientists and scholars from abroad.  A not insignificant number of award winners have subsequently been granted a Nobel Prize.  The award winners are invited to spend time for research in Germany.  

Professor Friedman is planning to spend the academic year 2010-11 in Germany, partly in Berlin at the Max Planck Institute for the History of Science and partly at the University of Bielefeld at the Center for Science in the Context of Applications.
