Subject: Saul Perlmutter awarded 2011 Nobel Prize in Physics

Dear Friends of the College of Letters & Science:

You have probably heard the wonderful news, but I am excited to tell you that Berkeley's Saul Perlmutter was today awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics for "the discovery of the accelerating expansion of the Universe through observations of distant supernovae." Please join me in congratulating Saul and his research team in this well deserved honor.
