The National Academy of Sciences and American Academy of Arts andSciences announced their newly elected members this week, expanding their ranks by 11 and 25UC faculty, respectively.<\/p>\n
Membership in these prestigious organizations puts one in distinguished company.<\/p>\n
The National Academy of Sciences was established in 1863 under President Abraham Lincoln to recognize achievement in science. Along with the National Academy of Engineering and the National Academy of Medicine, members provide advice to the federal government on matters related to science, engineering and health. Its 2021 class includes 11 faculty from across five UC campuses who join an elite group of 2,461 active members (511 additional members are internationally-affiliated). This year, NAS elected 59 women among its 120 new members, representing a new record and near parity for its class.<\/p>\n
The American Academy of Arts andSciences is an honorary society and independent research center that convenes leaders from across disciplines and professions to address significant challenges. More than 13,500 members have been elected since 1780, when it was founded by John Adams, John Hancock and others. 252 new members join the organization as part of its 2021 class, including 25UC faculty from eight campuses.<\/p>\n
