Not to be confused with Carl Sagan Prize for Science Popularization.
The Carl Sagan Award for Public Understanding of Science is an award presented by the Council of Scientific Society Presidents (CSSP) to individuals who have become “concurrently accomplished as researchers and/or educators, and as widely recognized magnifiers of the public's understanding of science.” The award was first presented in 1993 to astronomer Carl Sagan (1934–1996), who is also the award's namesake.
