The Italian astrophysicist Marica
Branchesi has made nature magazine's Top Ten scientific figures
for 2017.
An associate professor at the Gran Sasso Science
Institute (GSSI), Branchesi works in the National Laboratories
of the Gran Sasso of the National Istitute for Nuclear Physics
(INFN) and is a member of the VIRGO project.
Nature cited her for her role in the discovery of the first
signs of gravitational waves from the collision of two neutron
stars.
Also cited was another project in which the INFN had a hand,
the Mideast's first particle accelerator SESAME, led by Khaled
Toukan.
