Elda Anderson Award Breakfast Photographs
Every year, the Health Physics Society (HPS) gives an award to a young (less than 40) health physicist in honor of Elda Anderson. More information on the award can be found on the Health Physics Society Awards page. One of the unofficial traditions of the Society is breakfast at the HPS annual meeting in honor of the awardee and sponsored by and attended by past recipients. At that breakfast, a photograph of the current and prior awardees is taken.
This page collects many of these pictures, but is currently incomplete. As more pictures become available, they will be added.
We hope you enjoy the record of our past.
