Najat Saliba banner graces CDG airport in Paris after award

AirUCI Collaborator Jean-Francois Soussin of the Laboratoire Inter-universitaire des Systèmes Atmosphériques sent us the photo below this morning.  It shows a banner hanging inside Charles De Gaulle Airport in Paris with the image of longtime AirUCI collaborator Najat Saliba of the American University in Beirut!  Najat has just received the International Award for Women in Science, making her the first Lebanese-based researcher to win the award, presented annually by UNESCO and L'Oreal Cosmetics.  "For 20 years I've been working silently in my lab trying to raise awareness of women's achievements in science... this award will help bring that hard work into the light," she said.  Way to go, Najat!
