297.000 James Ferguson (25 April 1710–16 November 1776) was a lecturer, scientist, artist, inventor, and a member of the American Philosophical Society via his 1770 election. Born in the county of Banffshire, Scotland, he was the second child of Elspeth Lobban and John Ferguson. An autodidact, James taught himself to read and gained an early understanding of mechanics by observing the workings of his father’s farm tools. As a young man, James drifted in his employment from shepherding to farming to clock-making and maintenance before deciding to pursue a career as an artist. After discovering that an apprenticeship in oil painting would be tedious and costly, he decided to focus on limning—painting miniature portraits. However, he remained curious about the natural world and its mechanics, dabbling in globe-making, medicine, and teaching mathematics. After marrying Isabella Wilson in 1739, James’s intellectual interests turned to astronomy. His inventions in this field included the “astronomical rotula,” a cardboard device used for tracking the positions of the sun and moon, and the “trajectorium lunare,” with which he could demonstrate the moon’s trajectory relative to the sun. He performed demonstrations with this second invention during a series of lectures he conducted from his place of residence. These lectures became popular, as did James’s published work, because of his talent for explaining scientific concepts in simple enough terms to be understood by the general public. In 1761, based on the merits of his writings and public teachings, the king awarded him a pension of fifty pounds per year and, in 1763, he became a fellow of the Royal Society. James had a troubled family life: he legally separated from his wife in 1773 and his oldest daughter, Agnes, disappeared and was never found. After his illness and death in 1776, it was revealed that James had amassed a small fortune through savvy and secret investments. (DNB) | |

Alan Fersht is the Herchel Smith Professor of Organic Chemistry at Cambridge University and Director of the MRC Centre for Protein Engineering. He enjoys combining the methods of chemistry with those of molecular biology for studying complex problems in the interface of chemistry, biology and medicine. In particular, he works in the general area of the structure, activity, stability and folding of proteins, and the role of protein misfolding and instability in cancer and disease. He was the first to apply site-directed mutagenesis to analyze the structure and activity of proteins and the strength and specificity of protein interactions and is one of the founders of protein engineering. His current work is mainly in two specific areas. The first is in elucidating at atomic resolution how proteins fold and unfold, using advanced structural and biophysical methods on engineered proteins. His method of Phi-value analysis of mutated proteins is now the standard procedure for experimentally characterizing transition states for protein folding and unfolding and benchmarking simulation at atomic resolution. The second is using the same structural and biophysical methods to study how mutation affects proteins in the cell cycle, particularly the tumor suppressor p53, in order to design novel anti-cancer drugs that function by restoring the activity of mutated proteins. Alan Fersht is a fellow of the Royal Society, a foreign associate of the National Academy of Sciences, an honorary foreign member of the American Academy of Arts & Sciences, and a member of EMBO and Academia Europea. He has won several international awards, including the FEBS Anniversary Prize (1980); the NOVO Biotechnology Award (1986); the Charmian Medal of the Royal Society of Chemistry (1986); the Gabor Medal of the Royal Society (1991); the Max Tishler Lecture and Prize, Harvard University (1992); the FEBS Data Lecture and Medal (1993); the Jubilee Lecture and Harden Medal of the Biochemical Society (1993); the Feldberg Foundation Prize (1996); the Distinguished Service Award for Protein Engineering, Miami Nature Biotechnology Winter Symposium (1997); the Davy Medal of the Royal Society (1998); the Chaire Bruylants (1999); the Natural Products Award of the Royal Society of Chemistry (1999); the Anfinsen (1999) and Stein and Moore (2001) Awards of the Protein Society; the Bader Award of the American Chemical Society; the Linderstrom-Lang Prize and Medal (2002); the Bijvoet Medal (2008); the G.N. Lewis Medal (2008), and the Copley Medal of the Royal Society (2020). He was knighted in 2003 for his work on protein science, and he has honorary degrees from Uppsala, Brussels, Weizmann Institute, Imperial College, The Hebrew University, and Arhus University. He is associate editor of PNAS, senior editor of PEDS, and co-chairman of the editorial board of ChemBioChem. Alan Fersht was elected an international member of the American Philosophical Society in 2008. | |

Monika Fludernik is Professor of English Literature at the University of Frei-burg/Germany (Albert-Ludwigs-Universität Freiburg im Breisgau). She is an Austrian citizen. Fludernik studied English, Indo-European Philology, History and Mathematics at the University of Graz. She was a student of F. K. Stanzel the narratologist, who supervised her doctoral dissertation on "Narrators' and Characters' Voices in James Joyce's Ulysses" (1982). From 1984 to 1993, she was assistant professor in the De-partment of English and American Studies at the University of Vienna. Her habilitation book dealt with free indirect discourse and speech and thought representation in Eng-lish literature and conversational narratives, later published as The Fictions of Lan-guage and the Languages of Fiction (1993). Fludernik then moved to Freiburg with a Humboldt Fellowship and was appointed Professor of English Literature in Freiburg in 1994.
Fludernik is one of the leading narratologists world-wide. Her work is particularly noteworthy for its diachronic range (she covers English-language narrative from the Middle Ages to postcolonial literature), its interdisciplinarity (she was one of the first narratologists to focus on cognitive issues) and its linguistic methodology (see her analyses of conversational narratives and her studies of tense and syntax in narrative texts as well as her work on second-person narrative and we narration). Fludernik teaches English literature of all periods and genres. She has established herself not only as a narratologist but has also produced significant research in the areas of post-colonial studies, eighteenth-century aesthetics and law-and-literature studies.
Fludernik is the author of several monographs and over thirty edited volumes and special journal issues. She is particularly well-known for her seminal Towards a 'Nat-ural' Narratology (1996), which won the Perkins Prize of the Narrative Society, and her recent Metaphors of Confinement: The Prison in Fact, Fiction and Fantasy (2019). Among her edited volumes, the following have been particularly well received: Hy-bridity and Postcolonialism (1998); Diaspora and Multiculturalism (2003); In the Grip of the Law (with Greta Olson, 2004); Postclassical Narratology (with Jan Alber, 2010); Beyond Cognitive Metaphor Theory (2011); Idleness, Indolence and Leisure in British Literature (with Miriam Nandi, 2014); Narrative Factuality: A Handbook (with Marie-Laure Ryan, 2019); and Being Untruthful: Lying, Fiction, and the Non-Factual (2021). Fludernik has been the director of a Collaborative Research Cluster (Sonder-forschungsbereich) on identities and alterities (SFB 541), of a graduate school on Factual and Fictional Narration (GRK 1767), and was a board member of the CRC/SFB 1015 that focused on the study of otium (Muße). She is currently directing a project on "Diachronic Narratology", funded by the German Research Foundation's Reinhart-Koselleck grant programme. From 1997-2006 Fludernik was the president of IALS (International Association of Literary Semantics). She has received several priz-es and fellowships and is a member of both the Austrian Academy of Sciences as well as the Academia Europaea. | |
