In recognition of their distinguished and continuing achievements in original research, 15 Harvard faculty have been elected to the National Academy of Sciences. They are among the 120 members and 25 international members who were announced on Tuesday.
The National Academy of Sciences was established under a congressional charter signed by President Abraham Lincoln in 1863. It recognizes achievement in science by election to membership, and — with the National Academy of Engineering and the National Academy of Medicine — provides science, engineering, and health policy advice to the federal government and other organizations.
