In a nod to his tireless contributions to the field of physics, a recently discovered asteroid has been named in honor of David Meisel, a longtime physics professor at SUNY Geneseo. The asteroid, previously known as (5965) 1990 SV15, now bears the designation (5965) Meisel. Meisel's legacy extends far beyond the realm of academia.

His influence has had a profound impact on the scientific community, fostering environments that continue to flourish today. As Carl Hergenrother, executive director of the American Meteor Society, astutely observed, "His leadership built communities that continue to thrive today. His research left a lasting mark." The asteroid, a small but significant entity in the vast expanse of space, serves as a testament to Meisel's enduring impact.

Colleagues and admirers alike have come together to celebrate this tribute, recognizing the profound effect Meisel has had on the world of physics. SUNY Geneseo physics professors Aaron Steinhauer and David Meisel were photographed together in 2010, a snapshot in time that captures the spirit of camaraderie and intellectual curiosity that defines their department.
