A Beautiful Mind garnered best picture and best screenplay at the Academy Awards. Ron Howard won for best director and Jennifer Connelly for best supporting actress. John Nash *50 and his wife, Alicia, attended the ceremony.

Princeton hydrologist Ignacio Rodriguez-Iturbe has been selected to receive the Stockholm Water Prize, a $150,000 award known informally as the "Nobel Prize of water." King Carl XVI Gustaf of Sweden will present the award on behalf of the Stockholm Water Foundation at a ceremony in the Stockholm City Hall on August 15. The Stockholm Water Foundation, which has given the award annually since 1991, selected Rodriguez-Iturbe for his many contributions to the basic understanding of how water cycles between the oceans, the atmosphere and the continents. His work has ranged from discovering principles that govern the shape of all river basins to explaining the forces that drive cycles of floods and droughts.

More than 300 scientists from around the world gathered at a local conference center March 15-16 to honor Princeton physicist John Wheeler, who has been an important force in 20th-century physics and who is approaching his 91st birthday. The conference, called "Science and Ultimate Reality," celebrated Wheeler’s drive to address big, overarching questions in physics, which often begin to merge with philosophical questions about the origin of matter, information and the universe. Wheeler joined the Princeton faculty in 1938 and transferred to emeritus status in 1976.

Lisa Beamer, whose husband, Todd, uttered "Let’s roll," moments before United Flight 93 crashed into a Pennsylvania field on September 11, spoke on campus March 26. She spoke about his faith in God and hers.

President Tilghman spoke about the battle of the sexes in her lecture on "Genomic Imprinting: A Genetic Arms Race," at the Radcliffe Institute for Advanced Study on March 18. Tilghman described "an arms race where the weapons in the race are genes, where the protagonists are parents, and where the battlefield is the placenta and the uterus," reported Harvard’s Gazette.

Professor of History Harold James served on a nine-member panel of international historians that looked at Switzerland’s role in World War II. After a five-year study, the panel concluded that Switzerland’s refugee policy "turned back thousands to near-certain death," and the country excessively cooperated with Nazi Germany, and "failed to return wealth to its rightful owners" after the war, reported the New York Times.

Princeton graduate students are giving presentations on the topics they are studying to children in local schools as part of a new program called "Scholars in the Schools." Kevin Forrest, who is pursuing a Ph.D. in molecular biology, recently showed fifth-graders at West Windsor-Plainsboro Upper Elementary School how to see DNA in a test tube.

An interdisciplinary journey of inquiry into "Women and Religious Change in the African Diaspora" will take place over the next three years through a project at Princeton’s Center for the Study of Religion. The project will attempt to focus long overdue attention on questions of race and gender in the traditional study of religion. Marie Griffith, associate director of the center, said the spotlight will be on religious communities in the African diaspora of North and South America and the Caribbean, where increased ethnic and racial blending provides exciting examples of how belief and practice change over time and across populations, and how practitioners — especially women — navigate and frequently drive those changes. The project will focus especially on the ways in which people of African descent have influenced and reshaped Christianity and Islam, historically and in the present.

Saeed Tavazoie, assistant professor of molecular biology, has received an early-career research grant worth $1 million from the National Science Foundation. The five-year grant will fund research aimed at using the detailed information obtained from genome projects to build large-scale maps of how the many parts of a cell work together.
The Alfred Sloan Foundation has awarded unrestricted research grants to three Princeton faculty members. Computer scientist Amit Sahai, economist Robert Shimer and chemist Suzanne Walker each have been named Sloan Foundation research fellows and will receive $40,000 in funding over two years.

Melissa Miller, a graduate student in molecular biology, has been awarded a 2002 Harold Weintraub Graduate Student Award from the Basic Sciences Division of the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center in Seattle. Miller, who works in the lab of Associate Professor Bonnie Bassler and is also the recipient of the Porter Ogden Jacobus Fellowship, will participate in a scientific symposium in May in Seattle.

Greg Parker ’03 wrestles his way to All-America status
With a hometown crowd cheering him on in Albany, New York last weekend, Greg Parker ’03 battled his way to the NCAA Division I wrestling finals, finishing second in his weight class and garnering All-America status.
Parker, who grew up just 10 minutes outside of Albany, reached the finals in the 174-pound division by beating top-seeded and undefeated Otto Olson of Michigan 11-8 in the semifinal match march 29. The junior became Princeton’s first NCAA finalist since John Orr ’85 in 1984-85. Bradley Glass ’53, who captured the heavyweight title in 1951, is Princeton’s lone NCAA wrestling champion.
Parker lost 12-5 to Greg Jones of West Virginia in finals after tearing cartilage in his rib cage on a fall early in the match. Jones was the only wrestler to defeat Parker this year. Parker finished the season 33-2.
"Excitement the whole time," said Princeton head coach Mike New. "What a ride."
