Onsager Medal
The Onsager Medal (Onsagermedaljen) is a scholastic presentation awarded to researchers in one or more subject areas of chemistry, physics or mathematics. The medal is awarded in memory of Lars Onsager who received Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 1968.[1] The medal, designed by Harald Wårvik, commemorates the efforts of a single individual as chosen by the Onsager committee at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU).[2] The professorship awardee is expected to spend 3–6 months working at NTNU. The lectureship awardee will give a lecture at the university.[3]

gollark: Rail can ship stuff down 4000 block nether tunnels quicker than drones.
gollark: You'd want dedicated buffer warehouses in each final destination for common items.
gollark: Not really. Better than drones. They're very costly and they'd take ages.
gollark: Consider chest minecarts.
gollark: By rail? Yes.
