In 1997, in order to honour the memory of the distinguished scientist, Academician Bruno Pontecorvo, and to motivate young scientists, the Dzhelepov Laboratory of Nuclear Problems established Bruno Pontecorvo Scholarships. The scholarships are assigned for one year and intended to support activities of young scientists working on elementary particle and nuclear physics. The DLNP Expert Committee has resolved at its meeting to award the 2021 Bruno Pontecorvo Scholarship to Liudmila Kolupaeva and Maria Fomina.
Our heartfelt congratulations to the awardees! We wish you success and new scientific achievements!

January 15, 2021, marks the 80th birthday of G. V. Domogatsky, an outstanding physicist, Corresponding Member of the Russian Academy of Sciences, Doctor of Science (Physics and Mathematics), Head of the Laboratory of High-Energy Neutrino Astrophysics at the Institute for Nuclear Research of the Russian Academy of Sciences. Celebration of this jubilee is not a mere courtesy. Not at all! This eminent scientist, a holder of many awards and honors, has seen a lot in his 80 years. He is a living legend of neutrino physics. He is referred to in books and text-books since his name is associated with the largest physical projects and major scientific discoveries.

DLNP, along with the whole world, is going through the second wave of the COVID-19 pandemic. Many employees are working remotely, the shift work was optimized to reduce personal contacts. Comparing to the usual “every-day” reality, there are much fewer people on the DLNP site and deep silence in the hallways of the Laboratory buildings.⠀

The GERmanium Detector Array (GERDA) experiment at the Laboratori Nazionali del Gran Sasso (LNGS) of INFN, Italy, has reported its final results on the search for the neutrinoless double-beta (0νββ) decay of 76Ge in the recent issue of Physical Review Letters. Moreover, our paper has been selected to be a PRL Editors' Suggestion. No signal has been observed, but all goals of the final phase of the experiment have been achieved.
