Sandra Díaz is Professor of Ecology at Córdoba National University, senior member of the Argentine National Research Council and Visiting Professor at the School of Geography and the Environment, Oxford University. She is interested in plant functional traits and syndromes, their effects on ecosystem properties and their interactions with global change drivers. She constructed the first global quantitative picture of essential functional diversity of vascular plants –the global spectrum of plant form and function. She has advanced theory and practical implementation of the concept of functional diversity and its effects on ecosystem properties and benefits. She combines her ecology studies with interdisciplinary work on how different societies value and reconfigure nature. She founded Núcleo DiverSus on Diversity and Sustainability, and co-founded the Global Communal Plant Trait Initiative TRY. She co-chaired the Global Assessment of the Intergovernmental Platform on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services. She is a member of the Academies of Sciences of Argentina, USA, France, Norway, Latin America and the Developing World, and Foreign Fellow of the British Royal Society. Her awards include the Margalef Prize in Ecology (2017), the Gunnerus Award in Sustainability Science (2019), the Kew International Medal (2020) and the BBVA Frontiers of Knowledge in Ecology and Conservation Award (2021). | |

Sir Alexander [Cuninghame] Dick (23 October 1703-10 November 1785) doctor and agriculturalist, and a member of the American Philosophical Society, via his 1768 election to the American Society. Alexander Dick was born Alexander Cuninghame to the Baronet of Caprington and his wife Dame Janet. As the couple’s third son and therefore unlikely to inherit either title or estate, the youthful Alexander grasped early that he would need to secure his own place in Scottish society. To this end, he successfully pursued medicine, first by earning a MD in Leyden in 1725, followed by a doctor’s degree ad eundem from St. Andrews in 1727, before he was elected a licentiate of the Royal College of Physicians of Edinburgh. Rather than immediately beginning to practice medicine, Cuninghame embarked on the Grand Tour in the summer of 1736. Over the next two years he enjoyed all the dining and society that his money and sparkling letters of introduction could afford him. The tour, alas, ended, and he returned and opened up a medical practice in Wales. In the wake of the Jacobite rising of 1745, Cuninghame returned to Scotland permanently when he inherited title and estate through his maternal family. Thereafter he was known as Sir Alexander Dick, Baronet of Prestonfield. With his rise he quickly retired from his medical practice while remaining active in the Royal College of Physicians, elected as president annually from 1756-1763. Otherwise, he filled his day with experiments in plant cultivation (he was particularly intrigued by the benefits of rhubarb) and experimental agriculture (such as using sediment from his fish pond as manure). He received a steady stream of visitors eager for his company and famed hospitality, including Benjamin Franklin and later, with Franklin’s introduction, John Morgan. Later in life in turned to literary pursuits but much of his writing, like his memoir, were never published. (PI) | |

Ewine van Dishoeck is professor of molecular astrophysics at Leiden University, the Netherlands. Graduated from Leiden in 1984, she held positions at Harvard, Princeton and Caltech before returning to Leiden in 1990. The work of her group innovatively combines the world of chemistry with that of physics and astronomy to study the molecular trail from star-forming clouds to planet-forming disks. She has mentored several dozens of students and postdocs and has been heavily involved in planning of new observational facilities such as the Herschel Space Observatory and the Atacama Large Millimeter Array. Her awards include the 2000 Dutch Spinoza Prize, the highest scientific honor in the Netherlands, the 2015 Albert Einstein World Award of Science, the 2018 James Craig Watson Medal of the National Academy of Sciences, and the 2018 Kavli Prize for Astrophysics. She is a Member or Foreign Associate of several academies, including that of the Netherlands, USA, Germany and Norway. Since 2007, she is the scientific director of the Netherlands Research School for Astronomy
(NOVA). From 2018-2021, van Dishoeck serves as the president of the International Astronomical Union (IAU), the worldwide organization of professional astronomers. van Dishoeck has a passion for outreach to the general public and a special interest in art and astronomy. In 2019, she co-curated an exhibition on Cosmos: Art & Knowledge.

Jeremiah Dixon (27 July 1733–22 January 1779) was a surveyor and astronomer, best known for establishing the Pennsylvania-Maryland boundary (the Mason-Dixon Line), as well as a member of the American Society, elected in 1768. Born into a Quaker family in County Durham, England, he was educated at a local school. Early friendships with the instrument-maker John Bird and the mathematician William Emerson encouraged Dixon’s interest in those areas, and he soon became a surveyor. In 1760 he was chosen to assist Charles Mason in observing the 1761 Transit of Venus in Sumatra. When an attack on their ship by a French frigate delayed their arrival, they chose to conduct their observations from the Cape of Good Hope instead. They returned to England later that year after visiting the south Atlantic island of Saint Helena to assist future Astronomer Royal and APS member Nevil Maskelyne. In 1763 Dixon and Mason were engaged by the proprietors of Maryland and Pennsylvania to settle the long disputed boundary between the two colonies. The work of surveying the line and overseeing the physical demarcation thereof brought them nearly 250 miles west of Philadelphia and created what became the boundary between northern and southern U.S. states. After completing the line in 1766, Dixon and Mason measured a degree of latitude in Maryland and conducted some of the first American experiments with gravity at the Royal Society’s request. They returned to England in 1768 after being elected to the American Society. The following year Dixon observed a second Transit of Venus on his own in Norway. He then returned to Durham where he continued his surveying, producing maps of Auckland Castle and Lanchester Common. (PI, ANB, DNB) | |

Christopher Dobson's research greatly clarified the process of protein misfolding and its link to degenerative diseases. As a result, he contributed to the scientific understanding of Alzheimer's and Parkinson's diseases. He published over 800 papers and review articles. Additionally, his publications are unusually impactful, being cited frequently in the research of others. In addition to leading his productive research group, Dobson effectively performed the role of Master of St. John's College, notably by leading the expansion of full bursaries for disadvantaged students. Among his numerous honors is the Royal Medal, awarded to him in 2009 by the Royal Society, of which he was a member. Christopher Dobson was elected a member of the American Philosophical Society in 2018. He died September 8, 2019 in London, England at the age of 69. | |
