Urry to chair Physics Dept.
The first woman tenured by Yale’s Physics Department is about to become its first female chair, following University President Richard Levin’s Wednesday evening announcement naming Meg Urry to the post.
Urry, praised for her scholarship as well as her efforts to support women in the sciences, will replace outgoing chair Ramamurti Shankar, who has served in the position for the past six years. Her term will last for three years beginning this July.
