The 33rd Midwest Relativity Meeting will be held at the University of Chicago on Nov. 17-18, 2023. The Midwest Relativity Meetings bring together researchers from across the Midwest and beyond to discuss a broad range of topics in gravitational physics, including cosmology, gravitational waves, numerical relativity, and quantum gravity. The primary focus of this meeting is on graduate students and postdocs, all of whom are encouraged to give talks. The Blue Apple Award, sponsored by APS DGRAV, will be given for the best graduate student talk.

Congratulations to the 2023 Blue Apple Prize winner, Amanda Farah ("Cosmology with the mass distribution of GW sources")!

The Blue Apple Award, sponsored by APS DGRAV, is awarded for the best graduate student talk at the annual Midwest Relativity Meeting. It has been awarded for over 20 years.
