…and we are happy that Tony got elected as well! Congratulations from the whole lab.
The Academy has around 2400 members amd Tony will be one of only 500 international Scientist in the Academy.
The National Academy of Sciences was founded in 1863 to “...provide independent, objective advice to the nation on matters related to science and technology”. This objective seems to be more important than ever these days.
