Lew Allen Award

Lew Allen Award is a medal of the Jet Propulsion Laboratory. Until 1990 it was called the Director’s Research Achievement Award; it was then renamed in honor of Lew Allen.[1][2] This award recognises significant accomplishments or leadership early in an individual's professional career at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory.[3]

gollark: I don't think they can actually militarily do anything to Taiwan without imploding the entire world economy for several years.
gollark: It's unreasonable that people's life chances are affected by who they happened to be born to.
gollark: We should simply eliminate parenting.
gollark: They just ignore the constitution half the time, it wouldn't be a significant obstacle.
gollark: They routinely go around editing routing configuration, but messed it up very badly in this case.
