ajb Posted August 20, 2010 Posted August 20, 2010 Nicola Cabibbo died on the 16th August 2010. Only last week Cabibbo, together with Ennackal Chandy George Sudarshan of the University of Texas at Austin, were awarded the ICTP's 2010 Dirac medal for their "fundamental contributions to the understanding of weak interactions and other aspects of theoretical physics". A friend or colleague of Cabibbo will now be invited to accept the award on his behalf when it is presented in November by Irina Bokova, the director general of the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization.
