APS Outstanding Referee Award
Congratulations to Philipp Treutlein, whom the American Physical Society recognized in the 2017 iteration of their highly selective Outstanding Referee Program. This year only 150 people of the roughly 60000 currently active referees were honored with this lifetime award. The APS instituted the program in 2008 to thank and recognize those referees, whose efforts not only keep the standards of the journals high, but also help authors improve the quality and readability of their articles.
