New Arts & Sciences Academy Fellows Named
Accolades: Academy will welcome 229 members, including 22 chemical scientists, at ceremonies in October
by Linda R. Raber
April 29, 2010
Joseph S. Francisco, president of the American Chemical Society, is one of 20 chemical scientists elected on April 19 to fellowship in the American Academy of Arts & Sciences. In addition to the new fellows, 18 foreign honorary members were selected, two of whom are chemical scientists. All 229 honorees will be inducted during a ceremony on Oct. 9 at the academy's headquarters in Cambridge, Mass.
Academy membership encompasses more than 4,000 fellows and 600 foreign honorary members and reflects a full range of disciplines: mathematics, the physical and biological sciences, medicine, the social sciences and humanities, business, government, public affairs, and the arts. The academy conducts independent policy research and is celebrating its 230th anniversary this year.
"The men and women we elect today are true pathbreakers who have made unique contributions to their fields and to the world. The academy honors them and their work, and they, in turn, honor us," academy Chair Louis W. Cabot said when announcing the fellows.
Following are the new fellows and honorary foreign members in the chemical and related sciences:
