Goldbart recognized Nenes for his \u201cfar-reaching work on the conversion of aerosols into cloud drops. Aerosols, which are suspended atmospheric particles, have a major impact on climate and weather through their scattering and absorbing of sunlight and by providing \u2018seeds\u2019 to form cloud drops and ice crystals. [Nenes] is now initiating an exploration of the emerging field of cloud particle nucleation by bioaerosols (e.g., suspended bacteria and virus particles), whose role in the atmosphere as environmental toxins and cloud and ice nuclei is not well understood.\u201d\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EThe Cullen-Peck Fellows awards are made possible by alumni Frank Cullen and Libby Peck.
