Three Weinberg College of Arts and Sciences professors were elected to the National Academy of Sciences, one of the highest professional honors a scientist can receive, according to a University release.
The Academy recognized psychology Prof. Dedre Gentner, anthropology Prof. Thomas McDade and chemistry Prof. Michael R. Wasielewski for their research, which ranges from language acquisition and artificial photosynthesis to the way social contexts impact biology and physical well-being.
“Gentner, McDade and Wasielewski are among 120 new members and 30 international members selected in recognition of their distinguished and continuing achievements in original research,” the release stated.
The National Academy of Sciences is a private, nonprofit institution that began in 1863 after President Abraham Lincoln signed a congressional act.
The National Academy of Sciences has announced the election of 120 new members, including four APS Fellows, in recognition of their distinguished and continuing achievements in original research. The newly elected NAS members include 59 women, the most in a single year, and 30 international members.
“The historic number of women elected this year reflects the critical contributions that they are making in many fields of science, as well as a concerted effort by our Academy to recognize those contributions and the essential value of increasing diversity in our ranks,” said National Academy of Sciences President Marcia McNutt, in a press release.
