The 1998 Dirac Medal has been awarded to Stephen Adler of the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton and Roman Jackiw of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology for their "sophisticated use of quantum field theory to illuminate physical problems". The award is made every year by the International Centre for Theoretical Physics in Trieste in recognition of outstanding contributions to theoretical physics and mathematics, and is announced on Dirac's birthday - August 8.
