Dr. Katharine Blodgett Gebbie (1932-2016)

It's with great sadness that we report the passing of Dr. Katharine Blodgett Gebbie (1932-2016) on August 19. She was 84. For many years, she led the NIST Physical Lab (later Physical Measurement Lab) with grace and dedication. During her tenure, the Lab produced four Nobel prizes in physics. An amazing record. She was also a friend of ITAMP. From 2008-2011, she sat on the Advisory Board for ITAMP. We benefited tremendously from experience and insightful ideas on best move ITAMP forward. She will be greatly missed.
