The Polish Radiation Research Society awarded the 2007 Maria Sklodowska-Curie Medal to University of Detroit Mercy Chemistry & Biochemistry Professor Shulamith Schlick. The award was presented to Schlick at the XIV Congress of the Polish Radiation Research Society Meeting in Kielce, Poland held Sept. 24-26.

The Society is an organization devoted to the research and development of radiation. It is given to Polish researchers as well as foreign scholars who have made distinguishable contribution to the process of development in radiation research in Poland.

Every three years, the organization bestows four Maria Sklodowska-Curie medals to outstanding scientists in the field of radiation chemistry (usually one Polish and one from abroad) and radiobiology (usually one Polish and one from abroad). Foreign candidates are chosen from those who, apart from their important scientific work, have worked with Polish scientists.
