Its continuing achievements are due, in substan- tial part, to the unique capacities and dedication of Members who joined the Institute in the 1980s and ‘90s — from Founding Members Gerald Fink, Harvey Lodish, Rudolf Jaenisch, and Robert Weinberg to those who followed, including David Bartel, David Sabatini, Hazel Sive, Terry Orr-Weaver, Richard Young, and me. Those long-serving Members continue to do pioneering science and to be committed teachers and mentors. Yet we have begun an inevitable genera- tional transition: In the last two years, Gerry and Terry have closed their labs, and Harvey will do so this coming year. The exigencies of time mean that, increasingly, Whitehead Institute’s ability to maintain its vigorous scientific leadership depends on our next generation of researchers. As I move toward the conclusion of my term as director, I am particularly proud of the seven current Members and the 14 Whitehead Institute Fellows we recruited during the last 16 years. The newest of those stellar researchers joined us in 2019: Whitehead Institute Member Pulin Li and Whitehead Fellow Kipp Weiskopf. Pulin studies how circuits of interacting genes in individu- al cells enable multicellular functions, such as self-organizing into complex tissues, and her research brilliantly combines approaches from synthetic biology, developmental and stem cell biology, biophysics, and bioengineering to study these multicellular behaviors.

  • 2014 Newsletter Draft
    DECEMBER 2014 ISSUE NO.8 Earth & Environmental Sciences A letter from the chair.... Dear friends, students, and alumni of Earth and Environmental Sciences, I wish you the warmest of holiday greetings. The EES department continues to be a vibrant academic community of highly talented faculty, staff, and students...albeit with change. Professor Bruce Hargreaves is set to retire after 38 years at Lehigh. We all wish Bruce and his family good health and much success for years to come. EES achievements in 2014 made it difficult to select what to highlight in the following pages. Noteworthy were the election of Professor Ken Kodama as a Fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science, the awarding of the Christian and Mary Linback award for distinguished teaching to Professor Frank Pazzaglia, and the selection of EES graduate student Helen Malenda as a National Science Foundation Fellow. The newsletter also gives me an opportunity to acknowledge the generosity of our alumni who have given their time to share their career experiences with our students or their wealth to EES to embellish the educational experiences we can provide. For many earth and environmental scientists, a field setting always stirs emotions, provides awe and wonder, and inspires our curiosity. The field setting also provides a strong social learning environment where professor-student and peer-to-peer relations flourish. Inspirational field trips and summer field camp provides students with the opportunity to discover the breadth and scale of the many processes that have shaped the Earth. Thanks to the generosity of the Chevron Corporation and Chevron-EES alumni our field programs got a boost in 2014.

It lists former Fellows from the foundation of the Society in 1783 to October 2002. Most are deceased Fellows up to and including the list given in the RSE Directory 2003 (Session 2002-3) but some former Fellows who left the Society by resignation or were removed from the roll are still living. HISTORY OF THE PROJECT Information on the Fellowship has been kept by the Society in many ways – unpublished sources include Council and Committee Minutes, Card Indices, and correspondence; published sources such as Transactions, Proceedings, Year Books, Billets, Candidates Lists, etc. All have been examined by the compilers, who have found the Minutes, particularly Committee Minutes, to be of variable quality, and it is to be regretted that the Society’s holdings of published billets and candidates lists are incomplete. The late Professor Neil Campbell prepared from these sources a loose-leaf list of some 1500 Ordinary Fellows elected during the Society’s first hundred years. He listed name and forenames, title where applicable and national honours, profession or discipline, position held, some information on membership of the other societies, dates of birth, election to the Society and death or resignation from the Society and reference to a printed biography.
