Faculty Elected to the National Academy of Sciences

PACM faculty members Howard Stone and Sergio Verdu were elected to the National Academy of Sciences this week. The National Academy of Sciences (NAS) is a private, non-profit society of distinguished scholars. Established by an Act of Congress, signed by President Abraham Lincoln in 1863, the NAS is charged with providing independent, objective advice to the nation on matters related to science and technology. Scientists are elected by their peers to membership in the NAS for outstanding contributions to research. Click here to see a list of all the new inductees.
