Stephanie (and a student from the University of Southern California) were each presented with their certificates and prize money by Conference Chair Professor Piero Casavecchia (Perugia) at the Discussion dinner under the watchful gaze of  Nobel Laureate Professor John Polanyi (Toronto) and some 100 other delegates.
