The Royal Society is a fellowship of many of the world’s most distinguished scientists drawn from all areas of science, engineering, and medicine. The Society aims to recognise, promote, and support excellence in science and to encourage its development and use.

Each year the Royal Society elects 44 Fellows and 8 Foreign Members, and the 2012 fellows were announced last month. Two of our Faculty Members were among those elected:

• Gabriel Waksman, Structural Biology Faculty, (Royal Society biography)
• Paul R. Ehrlich, Ecology Faculty, (Royal Society biography)

Gabriel and Paul join the likes of Newton, Darwin, Einstein and Hawking in being elected to the Royal Society. Many congratulations to both!
