SPIE Newsroom has received EXCEL Awards for Editorial Content from the Society of National Association Publications (SNAP) in 2007 and 2008. (See article.) We're proud of this accomplishment, but much of the credit goes to the scientists and researchers who have contributed articles on their work.
Behind the scenes are the sources who have recommended their colleagues' work as potential topics for SPIE Newsroom. The list below includes our sources whose suggestions have been published in the 12 months ending in December 2008. We are very grateful for their contributions.
If you would like to recommend someone's work for potential SPIE Newsroom coverage, please send an email to the managing editor, Rich Donnelly, at newsroomeditor@spie.org.
