Glenn Lowry is the remarkably accomplished director of the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA). He became the director at the age of 40, bringing to his new task solid credentials as a historian of Moghul art, curator, and director of two smaller museums. He faced a complex situation. From the start, he had to plunge into preparations for an expansion of the museum's space that would be unprecedented in scope, with all that involved in terms of planning for acquisition of land, negotiations over zoning, selection of a design and architectural team and raising the necessary financing (about $700 million). At the same time he had to face the challenges and opportunities resulting from a changing of the guard at MoMA as a new group of brilliant curators came to the fore. He handled both the expansion of the museum and the internal challenges masterfully, drawing on his skill as an administrator and fund raiser and on his solid background as a scholar who understands what curators do but has no desire to supplant them. The result is an astonishing success story. MoMA's expansion – really the construction of a new museum – was completed on time and within budget, and the museum continues to do extremely well, as evidenced by record numbers of visitors and a range of special exhibitions. He is the author of: Storm Across Asia: Genghis Khan and the Mongols, (1981); (with M. Brand) Akbar's India, Art From the Mughal City of Victory, (1985); (with F. Shen, A. Yonemura) From Concept to Context: Approaches to Asian and Islamic Calligraphy, (1986); A Jeweler's Eye: Islamic Arts of the Book from the Vever Collection, (1986); (with T. Lentz) Timur and the Princely Vision, (1989); and Designing the New Museum of Modern Art, (2004). He has been a member of the American Academy of Arts & Sciences since 2005, and was elected to membership in the American Philosophical Society in 2010. | |

She grew up in Colorado, received her Ph.D. and taught at Harvard University, then moved to Oregon State University, where she is Valley Professor of Marine Biology and Distinguished Professor of Zoology. In 2008 President Obama chose her to head the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. She was confirmed by the United States Senate on March 19, 2009. She stepped down from NOAA in February 2013 and spent the 2013 Spring quarter at Stanford University as the Mimi and Peter E. Haas Distinguished Visitor. In February 2021, she was appointed by President Joe Biden to serve as Deputy Director for Climate and Environment in the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy.
In 2015 she was awarded the John and Alice Tyler Prize for Environmental Achievement and in 2017 she was awarded the National Academy of Sciences' Public Welfare Medal and the Carnegie Medal of Philanthropy. In 2019 the Harvard Graduate School of Arts and Sciences awarded her its highest honor, the Centennial Medal, which "honors alumni who have made contributions to society that emerged from their graduate study at Harvard."
Dr. Lubchenco actively promotes science and communicates scientific knowledge in international and national arenas. Dr. Lubchenco is past president of the International Council for Science (the first woman president in the 75 year-old organization) and has also served as president of the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS) and of the Ecological Society of America.
She is serving a second term on the National Science Board, having been twice nominated by President Clinton and twice confirmed by the U.S. Senate. She is often invited to testify before Congress, address the United Nations, or provide scientific advice to the White House, federal and international agencies, non-governmental organizations, religious leaders and leaders of business and industry. She co-chaired Oregon Governor Ted Kulongoski's Advisory Group on Global Warming that recommended actions the state should take to reduce its greenhouse gas emissions. She also founded and co-leads the Aldo Leopold Leadership Program that teaches outstanding academic environmental scientists to be more effective communicators of scientific information to the public, policy makers, the media and the private sector. | |

Robert Lucas, who was awarded the Nobel Memorial Prize in Economics in 1995, has been the single most influential intellectual force in macroeconomic theory in the past 30 years. He has led a generation of macroeconomists into a new style of work: explicitly dynamic, insistent on a particular equilibrium concept, attentive to the influence of expectation but insistent also on a particular way of formulating expectations and processing information. Dr. Lucas earned his B.A. and Ph.D. degrees from the University of Chicago and joined the faculty of his alma mater in 1975 after an 11-year stint at Carnegie Mellon University. Since 1980 he has held the univeristy's John Dewey Distinguished Service Professorship in Economics. | |

Trained as a mathematician (Ph.D. MIT, 1950) but transformed under the tutelage of many distinguished social and psychological scientists into a mathematical behavioral scientist, R. Duncan Luce worked on a variety of measurement issues. These include probabilistic models of choice and responses times, algebraic formulations that lead to measurement representations such as additive and non-additive conjoint measurement, the interlocks between measurement systems with applications to utility and subjective weights and to aspects of psychophysics. His publications include 8 authored or co-authored volumes, 14 edited or co-edited volumes, and over 220 journal articles. His honors include membership in the American Academy of Arts & Sciences and the National Academy of Sciences; the National Medal of Science; the American Psychological Foundation Gold Medal; the UCI Medal; the Ramsey Medal; the Norman Anderson Award; an honorary doctorate from the University of Waterloo. At the time of his death he was serving as Distinguished Research Professor of Cognitive Sciences and Research Professor of Economics at the University of California, Irvine, where he had been since 1988. Previously he served on the faculties of Harvard University, the Institute for Advanced Study, and the University of Pennsylvania, all at the rank of professor or a name chair. At it's Spring Meeting in 2012, Dr. Luce was awarded the American Philosophical Society's Patrick Suppes Prize in Psychology "in recognition of his distinguished and prolific research and publications in decision-making and utility theory that have continued unabated from the 1950s to the present." R. Duncan Luce died on August 11, 2012, at age 87, in Irvine, California. | |

Tanya Marie Luhrmann is the Albert Ray Lang Professor of Anthropology at Stanford University, with a courtesy appointment in Psychology. Her work focuses on the edge of experience: on voices, visions, the world of the supernatural and the world of psychosis. She has done ethnography on the streets of Chicago with homeless and psychotic women, and worked with people who hear voices in Chennai, Accra and the South Bay. She has also done fieldwork with evangelical Christians who seek to hear God speak back, with Zoroastrians who set out to create a more mystical faith, and with people who practice magic. She uses a combination of ethnographic and experimental methods to understand the phenomenology of unusual sensory experiences, the way they are shaped by ideas about minds and persons, and what we can learn from this social shaping that can help us to help those whose voices are distressing. At the heart of the work is the sense of being called, and its possibilities and burden.
She was elected to the American Academy of Arts and Sciences in 2003 and received a John Guggenheim Fellowship award in 2007. When God Talks Back was named a NYT Notable Book of the Year and a Kirkus Reviews Best Book of the Year. It was awarded the $100,000 Grawemeyer Prize for Religion by the University of Louisville. She has published over thirty OpEds in The New York Times, and her work has been featured in The New Yorker, The New York Review of Books, The Times Literary Supplement, Science News, and many other publications. She is the author of Persuasions of the Witch’s Craft, The Good Parsi, Of Two Minds, When God Talks Back, Our Most Troubling Madness, and How God Becomes Real and other books, and is currently at work on a book entitled Voices. | |

John Lukacs was one of the master interpreters of the modern era, that is, of Western Civilization since 1500. His knowledge of politics and society in Europe and America was unrivalled for breadth and suffused with philosophic imagination. He at home in the wide survey (The Passing of the Modern Age), the local study (Philadelphia: Patricians & Philistines), and the cultural inquiry (Historical Consciousness), these being three of his distinctive contributions. He could conjure before us a city (Budapest: 1900) or the conflict of titans (The Duel: Churchill and Hitler, May-July 1940). By their conception and execution every one of Dr. Lukacs's works fills a gap in our intelligence of the world we live in. Born in Hungary, Dr. Lukacs was a graduate of Palatine Joseph University, Budapest (Ph.D., 1946). For over fifty years he served on the faculty of Chesnut Hill College, becoming Professor Emeritus after 1994. He remained at work into the latest year of his life, publishing his final book, "We at the Center of the Universe," in 2017. John Lukacs died on May 6, 2019 in Phoenixville, Pennsylvania at the age of 95. | |

John Lukens (1720–c. 14 October 1789) was a surveyor and astronomer and a member of the Young Junto, elected in 1766. Born in Horsham Township outside Philadelphia, he joined the Young Junto just before it became the American Society and then facilitated its unification with the American Philosophical Society, to which he had already been separately elected. In 1763 Lukens was named surveyor general of the province, an office he held for much of his life. He was a founder of the Hatboro library and a subscriber to the Silk Society. He was also part of the APS committee chosen to observe the Transit of Venus, alongside David Rittenhouse, William Smith, and John Sellers. Lukens surveyed a route for a proposed Delaware-Chesapeake canal in 1769 and undertook a similar survey for a proposed Schuylkill-Susquehanna canal several years later. When the Marquis de Condorcet sent the APS a series of queries, Lukens was tasked with responding to two of them, though the American Revolution seems to have precluded his response. Lukens’ term as surveyor general ended when the proprietary government dissolved in 1775-1776, but he continued to provide geographic information during the War for Independence and resumed his post as surveyor general of the new state in 1781. He conducted preliminary work to settle the Pennsylvania-Virginia border with APS member Archibald McClean, served as a commissioner of the Land Office and a city regulator, and surveyed western lands intended for Pennsylvania veterans. He also continued his astronomical observations, discovering a comet in 1784. His son Jesse Lukens was an APS member. (PI) | |
