Richard Glazebrook Medal and Prize
The Richard Glazebrook Medal and Prize is awarded annually by the Institute of Physics to recognise leadership in the field of physics. It was established in 1966 and named in honour of Sir Richard T. Glazebrook, the first president of the Institute of Physics.[1][2] It was originally a silver medal with a £250 prize.[3]
