2016 National Academy of Sciences
National Academy of Sciences Members and Foreign Associates Elected
The National Academy of Sciences is a private, nonprofit institution that 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 National Academy of Medicine -- provides science, technology, and health policy advice to the federal government and other organizations.
Xenbase, and on behalf of the world wide Xenopus research community, congratulates the newly appointed members to the National Academy of Sciences who both currently and in earlier times in their careers, use Xenopus in their research.
