Wu Hung is currently the Harrie A. Vanderstappen Distinguished Service Professor in Chinese Art History in the Department of Art History and Department of East Asian Languages and Civilizations at the University of Chicago. Born in China, he earned his Ph.D. in 1987 from Harvard University. He has won the Levenson Prize of the Association for Asian Studies (1991). His publications include: The Wu Liang Shrine, 1989; Monumentality in Early Chinese Art and Architecture, 1995; The Double Screen: Medium and Representation in Chinese Painting, 1996; (with R. Barnhart, et al) 3000 Years of Chinese Painting, 1997; (with C. Phillips) Between Past and Future: New Photography and Video from China, 2004; Remaking Beijing: Tiananmen Square and the Creation of a Political Space, 2005; Art of the Yellow Spring: Rethinking Chinese Tombs, 2010. He is the editor of Chinese Art at the Crossroads: Between Past and Future, Between East and West (2001) and, with K. Tsiang, Body and Face in Chinese Visual Culture (2005). He is a member of the American Academy of Arts & Sciences (2007). Wu Hung is a leading historian of Chinese art, renowned for his study of art and visual culture in early China. In his 1989 book, The Wu Liang Shrine, he analyzed how a pictorial program in the second century CE reflected Confucian ideology, going beyond the usual formal and iconographical analyses into social history. Art of the Yellow Springs: Understanding Chinese Tombs (2010) examined excavated materials from Neolithic to late Medieval periods and interpreted them in their appropriate funerary contexts. He has also written extensively about twentieth century art. In addition, he has curated more than two dozen exhibitions, largely in contemporary painting and photography, in the United States, Germany, China, and Korea. Wu Hung was selected to give the 68th annual A.W. Mellon Lectures in the Fine Arts. He was elected a member of the American Philosophical Society in 2012.

Lynn Hunt is an extraordinarily gifted, imaginative, and tough-minded scholar, the author of a boldly conceived set of eight interlocking books on the French Revolution, gender history, cultural history and historiography. Her books have been translated into French, German, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Turkish, Portuguese, Chinese and Polish. Her best known book, The Family Romance of the French Revolution, shows how the revolutionaries destroyed the paternal image of King Louis XVI by pornographic attacks on Queen Marie Antoniette and then, having liberated themselves from the royal family, created a new model of domesticity. Her latest works are Inventing Human Rights: A History (2007), the question of time and history writing, Measuring Time: Making History (2008), and early 18th century views of the world's religions, Bernard Picart and the First Global Vision of Religion (with M. Jacob and W. Mijnhardt, 2010). Her current research projects include a study of cultural history in the global era and another of the French Revolution in global context. Lynn Hunt has served as president of the American Historical Association and is currently Distinguished Professor of History and Eugen Weber Professor of Modern European History at the University of California, Los Angeles (1998-). She holds a Ph.D. from Stanford University (1973) and has also taught at the University of California, Berkeley (1974-87) and the University of Pennsylvania (1987-98).

Tony Hunter was born in Ashford, Kent, England. He attended Caius College at the University of Cambridge, receiving his B.A. in 1965. Subsequently, he did his graduate studies in the Department of Biochemistry at the University of Cambridge under the supervision of Asher Korner, receiving his Ph.D. in 1969 for work on mammalian protein synthesis. In 1968 he was appointed as a Research Fellow of Christ's College at the University of Cambridge, and then worked for three years in the Department of Biochemistry doing independent research on the initiation of protein synthesis in eukaryotes. In 1971 he joined the Salk Institute in La Jolla, California, as a Research Associate working under Walter Eckhart on polyoma virus DNA synthesis. He spent 1973-75 back at the Department of Biochemistry at the University of Cambridge where he discovered how tobacco mosaic virus expresses its coat protein, before joining the Salk Institute as an assistant professor in 1975. At that time he set out to identify tumor virus transforming gene products, starting with the tumor (T) antigens of polyoma virus and then turning his attention to Rous sarcoma virus (RSV). In the course of studying the polyoma virus middle T antigen and the RSV v-src gene product, he discovered that these proteins both exhibit a previously unknown protein kinase activity that phosphorylates tyrosine. He has spent most of the last thirty years studying tyrosine kinases and their role in cell growth, oncogenesis and the cell cycle. A major current research interest is to elucidate mechanisms of transmembrane signaling by tyrosine kinases and phosphatases. His group also studies the cyclin-dependent protein kinases and other protein kinases that regulate progression through the cell cycle, and how protein ubiquitylation and degradation is used as a means of regulating signaling pathways and the cell cycle. He is currently a professor in the Molecular and Cell Biology Laboratory at the Salk Institute, the director of the Salk Institute Cancer Center, and an adjunct professor in the Division of Biology at the University of California, San Diego. Currently he is on the editorial boards of several journals, including Cell, Molecular Cell, the EMBO Journal and the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. He serves on a number of scientific review and advisory committees. He has been an organizer for many scientific meetings. He was elected as a Fellow of the Royal Society of London in 1987, a Fellow of the American Academy of Arts & Sciences in 1992, an Associate Member of the European Molecular Biology Organization in 1992, a member of the U.S. National Academy of Sciences in 1998 and a member of the Institute of Medicine in 2004. He was appointed as an American Cancer Society Research Professor in 1992. He has received a number of awards for his work in the area of growth control, oncogenesis and protein phosphorylation, including the 1994 General Motors Cancer Research Foundation Mott Prize, a 1994 Gairdner Foundation International Award, the Biochemical Society 1994 Hopkins Memorial Lectureship and Medal, the 2001 Keio Medical Science Prize, the 2003 Sergio Lombroso Award in Cancer Research, the 2003 City of Medicine Award, the 2004 American Cancer Society Medal of Honor, the 2004 Kirk A. Landon-AACR Prize for Basic Cancer Research, the Prince of Asturias Award for Scientific and Technical Research, 2004, the 2004 Louia Gross Horwitz Prize, the 2005 Wolf Prize in Medicine, the 2006 Pasarow Award in Cancer Research, in 2017 the inaugural Sjoeberg Prize cancer research; the 2018 Pezcoller-AACR International Award for Extraordinary Achievement in Cancer Research, and the 2018 Tang Prize in Biopharmaceutical Science. His hobbies include white water rafting and desert camping.

Thomas Hutchins (c. 1730–28 April 1789) was a woodsman, cartographer, surveyor, and a member of the American Philosophical Society, elected in 1772. Born on the New Jersey frontier and orphaned in childhood, Thomas Hutchins began surveying and making maps in 1760 as an Indian agent. He recorded his diplomatic missions to various tribes and typically produced maps of the regions he encountered. Having built a reputation as a skilled surveyor and mapmaker in North America, Hutchins received a British army commission to continue doing just that. Throughout the 1760’s and 1770’s, he joined multiple explorations surveying the Mississippi River Valley region, and later the southern colonies. All the while, Hutchins turned another profit with his surveying: acquiring land. In 1776, with the onset of the American Revolution, his promotion to captain enabled him to avoid combat and relocate to London. Two years later, he published a book on the natural history of the American northwestern frontier. Later, British authorities arrested him on treason charges for sympathizing with American patriots, but he was found innocent. The British’s suspicions were not unfounded, however, and shortly after being released, Hutchins went to Paris and took an oath of loyalty to the United States under Benjamin Franklin. In 1781 Congress employed him to serve in the south as a geographer, and he was later designated “Geographer of the United States''. Hutchinson was the first to use, and perhaps invented, the Township-Section-Range system, which is standard today. In 1788 Hutchinson secretly joined the Spanish effort to fortify New Spain, planning to renounce his American citizenship and work as surveyor-general to the Spanish Crown. He died in Pittsburgh before this could happen. (ANB)
