The National Academy of Sciences (NAS) elected 120 new members and 26 foreign associates from 14 countries in May. This brings the total active membership to 2,403 and the number of foreign associates—nonvoting members with citizenship outside the US—to 501.

Election to NAS, which is more than 150 years old, recognizes scientists and engineers for their distinguished and continuing achievements in original research and is considered one of the highest scientific honors bestowed in the US. This year, 23 of the newly elected are members of the American Chemical Society or work in areas related to the chemical sciences.
