Frances H. Arnold is the recipient of the Invited National Honorary Member Award from Iota Sigma Pi, the US national honor society for women in chemistry. The award honors exceptional achievement in chemistry or an allied field that merits international recognition. Arnold is the Linus Pauling Professor of Chemical Engineering, Bioengineering, and Biochemistry at the California Institute of Technology. She won half the 2018 Nobel Prize in Chemistry for her work on the directed evolution of enzymes, which has yielded the enzymatic synthesis of molecules such as the biofuel isobutyl alcohol and the diabetes drug sitagliptin.
