The Florida State faculty members selected as APS fellows for 2008, and the language provided on their APS citations, are as follows:</p>

<pre><code>* Rafael P. Brüschweiler, Professor, Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry, and Associate Director for Biophysics, National High Magnetic Field Laboratory, “for fundamental contributions to methodology and applications of nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy in combination with novel computational approaches for the dynamic characterization of proteins in solution.”

• Alexander V. Gurevich, Scholar/Scientist and Principal Investigator, Applied Superconductivity Center at the National High Magnetic Field Laboratory, “for significant contributions to the theory of superconductivity, particularly the effect of crystalline defects on critical currents, vortex dynamics, and upper critical fields of high-temperature superconductors and MgB2.”
• Samuel L. Tabor, Norman P. Heydenburg Professor of Physics and Director, John D. Fox Superconducting Accelerator Laboratory, “for pioneering and sustained contributions to the understanding of the structure of f-p-g shell nuclei and pioneering measurements elucidating the effects of neutron excess on nuclear shell structure near N=16.”

<p>“Congratulations on being elected APS fellows,” Kirby Kemper, Florida State’s vice president for Research, wrote to the three researchers. “What makes each of your selections particularly impressive is that you were each elected from a different APS division — Rafael in Biological Physics, Alex in Condensed Matter and Sam in Nuclear Physics. This breadth of excellent research shows that not only are you carrying out world-class work, but that The Florida State University is developing the broad depth needed to carry us forward in important areas of science.”
