We are proud to report that Ebru Devlen, who is currently spending a 1-year sabbatical at Nordita (see our last newsletter), received the Nüzhet Gökdoğan Astronomy Science Prize of Istanbul University for her paper "The Anisotropic Transport Effects on Dilute Plasmas" published by Astrophysical Journal in 2011.

This prize is given every five years and is in honor of Prof. Dr. Nüzhet Gökdoğan, who was the first Turkish woman astronomer and the founder of Astronomy Department of Istanbul University.
