I want to congratulate Bioconductor Core Team Member  Rafael Irizarry 
on winning 2 awards for his work.

On August 6, Rafael was awarded The Committee of Presidents of 
Statistical Societies (COPSS) President's Award.  The award is 
presented in recognition of outstanding contributions to the 
statistics profession.  Only 1 award is granted annually.  This is 
considered the most prestigious award for younger investigators
in Statistics.  The citation is not yet up on the COPSS web page, but 
I know that Rafael's contributions to bioinformatics and Bioconductor 
were among the many works for which he received the award.

On August 5, Rafael also became a Fellow of the American Statistical 
Association.
