Fabiola Gianotti is currently Director-General at CERN. She earned her Ph.D. from the University of Milano in 1989.
As a Ph.D. student, Fabiola Gianotti worked on one of the first proton-antiproton collider experiments at CERN, the UA2 detector, which together with UA1, discovered the carriers of the weak force, the massive W and Z bosons. Next, Gianotti was involved in the ALEPH detector at the Large Electron Positron (LEP) collider at CERN, which made precision measurements establishing the Standard Model of Particle Physics. She was a leader in the design, building, and data analysis of ATLAS, one of the two detectors at the Large Hadron Collider, which announced in 2012 the discovery of the Higgs boson, the final piece in the Standard Model of Particle Physics. In 2016, she became the Director-General of CERN and is overseeing the operation and the upgrades of the world’s most complex and expensive science experiment, as well as being a leader in the design of the next global particle accelerator. Her research career is distinguished by her hardware skills (electronics on UA2 and liquid Argon calorimetry for LHC), software and analysis expertise (ATLAS), and leadership (ATLAS). In a field dominated by men for more than 100 years, Gianotti has established herself as the most influential high-energy physicist in the world today.
Among her awards are the Special Breakthrough Prize in Fundamental Physics in 2013, the Enrico Fermi Prize of the Italian Physical Society in 2013, the Medal of Honour of the Niels Bohr Institute in 2013, and the Magellanic Premium of the American Philosophical Society in 2018. She is a member of the Italian Academy of Sciences (2012), the National Academy of Sciences (2015), French Academy of Science (2015), and Royal Society, 2018. Fabiola Gianotti was elected a member of the American Philosophical Society in 2019. | |

Thomas Gibbons (31 May 1720–22 February 1785) was a minister and a member of the American Philosophical Society, elected in 1775. Born in Suffolk County, England to an Independant minister and his wife, Gibbons was brought up in the English dissenter community, which separated themselves from the Church of England. Sent to grammar school and then the dissenting academy at Deptford, he was ordained in 1743 as minister of the Independent church at Haberdashers’ Hall. The next year the Congregational Fund and the King’s Head Society elected him tutor in logic, metaphysics, and rhetoric at the Mile End dissenting academy. He began lecturing at various institutions, such as the meeting-house at Monkwell, Pinner’s Hall, and Little St. Helen’s. He earned his M.A. in 1760 after raising funds for the College of New Jersey, and his D.D. in 1764 from Aberdeen University. Gibbons was an influential member of the evangelical dissent movement of the eighteenth century and a leader of the London Independent Ministers. He campaigned to dissolve the legal obligation dissenting ministers faced to follow the Thirty-Nine Articles. Gibbons was also a good friend of Isaac Watts, famed hymn-writer and fellow dissenter, and composed Watt’s first biography. He wrote forty-four other publications, mainly sermons and religious verse. His diary offers a glimpse into the life of an industrious eighteenth-century minister, constantly attending banquets and transacting business. He lived like this until suffering a stroke in his local coffeehouse and dying in his home five days thereafter. (DNB) | |

Gerd Gigerenzer is Director at the Max Planck Institute for Human Development and Director of the Harding Center for Risk Literacy in Berlin. He is former Professor of Psychology at the University of Chicago and John M. Olin Distinguished Visiting Professor, School of Law at the University of Virginia. He is also Member of the Berlin-Brandenburg Academy of Sciences, the German Academy of Sciences, and the American Academy of Arts & Sciences, and Batten Fellow at the Darden Business School, University of Virginia. He received honorary doctorates from the University of Basel and the Open University of the Netherlands. Awards for his work include the AAAS Prize for the best article in the behavioral sciences, the Association of American Publishers Prize for the best book in the social and behavioral sciences, the German Psychology Award and the Communicator Award of the German Research Foundation. His award-winning popular books Calculated Risks, Gut Feelings: The Intelligence of the Unconscious, and Risk Savvy: How to make good decisions have been translated into 21 languages. His academic books include Simple Heuristics That Make Us Smart, Rationality for Mortals, Simply Rational, and Bounded Rationality (with Reinhard Selten, a Nobel Laureate in economics). In Better Doctors, Better Patients, Better Decisions (with Sir Muir Gray) he shows how better informed doctors and patients can improve healthcare while reducing costs. Together with the Bank of England, he works on the project "Simple heuristics for a safer world." Gigerenzer has trained U.S. Federal Judges, German physicians, and top managers in decision-making and understanding risks and uncertainties. | |

John Gill (c. 25 June 1721–7 May 1782) was an Irish physician and public officeholder, and a member of the American Philosophical Society via his 1768 election to the American Society. Born in Kinsale, County Cork, Ireland, he attended Trinity College, Dublin, but did not take a degree. He then apprenticed with a local physician before entering Edinburgh University around 1745. He became a member of the Medical Society there in 1746 and graduated with an M.D. degree in 1748. Gill then returned to Kinsale, where he established his own practice and entered public office. He became a member of the Town Council in 1754 and in 1764 was elected “soverain” (mayor). He was re-elected to this post in 1767 and 1771 and died in 1782. Gill likely owed his election to the American Society to his friendship with Lewis Nicola, a fellow Kinsale native who resettled in Philadelphia and became an active member. (PI) | |
