Twelve Howard Hughes Medical Institute Scientists Elected to American Academy of Arts and Sciences
Ten Howard Hughes Medical Institute (HHMI) investigators and two HHMI professors are among 203 fellows elected today to the American Academy of Arts and Sciences.
Membership in the American Academy honors individuals who have made prominent contributions to society and to their disciplines, which include mathematics, physics, biological sciences, social sciences, humanities and the arts, public affairs and business. The Academy's broad-based membership gives it a unique capacity to conduct a wide range of interdisciplinary studies and public policy research.
This year's new fellows and foreign honorary members include scholars, scientists, artists, civic, corporate, and philanthropic leaders from 27 states and 13 countries. The Academy will welcome this year's new class at its annual Induction Ceremony on October 6, at the Academy's headquarters in Cambridge, Massachusetts.
