	James Moran is currently Senior Scientist at the Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory and Donald H. Menzel Emeritus Professor of Astrophysics at Harvard University. He earned his Ph.D. from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in 1968. He has spent most of his career at the Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory and Harvard University. James Moran has led a decades long program which has directly established the geometric scale of the universe and provided the first direct evidence for the existence of supermassive black holes. These exquisite observations began with Moran’s 1967 pioneering work in the development of Very Long Baseline spectral line interferometry and culminated with his observations of cosmic H2O maser sources to obtain the direct geometric distance to a galaxy, independent of traditional multiple step extragalactic distance ladder and its uncertain metallicity corrections. The extragalactic distance scale is a key ingredient in establishing the equation state of dark matter as well as being an essential prerequisite for the determination of the age, energy density, synthesis of the light elements, geometry, and the evolution of the universe. The current “tension” between the maser/Cepheid/supernova and Planck values of the Hubble constant, 73.24p/m1.74 and 67.8p/m0.9 respectively, depends fundamentally on these direct geometric measurements. James Moran was awarded the Rumford Prize of the American Academy of Arts & Sciences in 1971, the Newton Lacy Pierce Prize of the American Astronomical Society in 1978, and the Grote Reber Gold Medal in 2013. He is a member of the International Astronomical Union (president, Division X and Commission 40, 1997-2000), the National Academy of Sciences (1998), and the American Academy of Arts & Sciences (2010). James Moran was elected a member of the American Philosophical Society in 2020.

He has been a professional pianist since 1963, having later earned a B.M. from the Peabody Institute from 1972. André Watts is one of the greatest living American classical pianists, and the first internationally famous Black concert pianist. Watts was a prodigy when he started playing with the Philadelphia Orchestra at age 9, and at age 16 he won a competition to play in Bernstein's televised Young People's Concert with the New York Philharmonic. Watts was later called in by Bernstein as a replacement for a sick pianist and Watts's resulting solo performance on New Year's Day in 1963 was enrapturing, inspiring immediate worldwide acclaim. This was followed by his first album, The Exciting Debut of André Watts, and a Grammy Award for most promising new classical music artist. In 1976, he made history with PBS's Live From Lincoln Center program by playing the first fully televised piano recital. Watts has recorded a number of albums over the years, providing interpretations of Beethoven, Chopin, Schubert, Tchaikovsky, and Liszt, among others. Watts won a Grammy Award in 1964, the Avery Fisher Prize in 1988, the George Peabody Medal in 1990, and received the National Medal of Arts in 2011.

	Birth Date:	1952

	Venki Ramakrishnan was born and grew up in India. At the age of 19, he left for the United States to pursue a PhD in physics, but his interests soon turned to biology. He spent almost three decades in the USA before moving to England to work in the MRC Laboratory of Molecular Biology in Cambridge. Most of his work has been on central problems in molecular biology, including how our DNA is packaged in cells and how genetic information is "read" to make the proteins they specify. This process is carried out by the ribosome, an enormous molecular complex of about half a million atoms. He and others determined the precise atomic structure of the ribosome which helped us to understand how it worked. The work also showed how many antibiotics work by blocking bacterial ribosomes, which could help to design better antibiotics. For this work, he shared the 2009 Nobel Prize in Chemistry. Since 2015, Ramakrishnan has been president of the Royal Society, one of the oldest scientific organizations in the world, and is a leading voice for British science. Ramakrishnan is also the author of a popular memoir, Gene Machine, which tells about the quest for the structure of the ribosome and also describes in very frank terms what it is like to be an outsider who found himself in the middle of a race for an important problem. It talks about how science is done with its mixture of insights and persistence as well as blunders and dead ends, and how scientists behave, with their mixture of competition and collaboration, their egos, insecurities and jealousies, but also their kindness and generosity. Venki Ramakrishnan was elected a member of the Americn Philosophical Society in 2020.

27	Name:	Dr. Eva Schlotheuber

	Birth Date:	1959

	Eva Schlotheuber's enthusiasm for medieval manuscripts, art and literature started at Göttingen, studying with Hartmut Hoffmann, one of the leading scholars of manuscript and archival studies. A year abroad in Copenhagen reading anthropology and experimental archaeology added to this the material side of history and environmental studies. Working at the intersection of these disciplines has never ceased to fascinate her and she has continued working on little known primary material and hidden archival sources from an interdisciplinary perspective. A particular focus has been how religious orders structure and communicate knowledge, particularly looking at how religious women staked out their claim in medieval society; she has worked closely with colleagues around the world, among them Jeffrey Hamburger (Art History, Harvard) and Margot Fassler (Musicology/Liturgy, Notre Dame). Currently, she is editing together with Henrike Lähnemann (German Studies, Oxford) what is probably the largest corpus of medieval writing by women, 1.800 letters collected in a Northern German convent (The Nuns' Network). A second area of research revolves round the influence which poets and humanists such as Dante and Petrarch had on political theory and governance structure in the 14th century, and how new collective norms are formed in times of crisis. The critical evaluation and contextualisation of sources of all kind is a particular strength of medieval studies which is crucial in understanding how systems of knowledge are changing. We can build upon this highly developed source critizism for meeting the challenges of our networked digital age. This is a challenge which can only be met by working together across the Humanities and Sciences and jointly developing a vision for the future which is collaborative. Eva Schlotheuber was elected a member of the American Philosophical Society in 2020.

	James C. Scott is currently Sterling Professor of Political Science, Professor of Anthropology, and Professor of Forest & Environmental Studies at Yale University. He received his Ph.D. from that same institution in 1967. Between earning his Ph.D. and beginning to teach at Yale, he was Professor of Political Science from 1967-1976 at the University of Wisconsin, Madison. James C. Scott began as an on-site-searcher in Southeast Asia, then expanded into works of general importance for political science, anthropology, and history. These works have reached wide audiences. How do ordinary people use "weapons of the weak" against political and economic elites? What is the nature of the "moral economy" that peasants abide by? How do central "seeing eye" states "read" their populations, and so what? In the U.S., a notable instance of that "reading" is the federal government's division of the continent into cadastral land plots in the 1780s courtesy of Thomas Jefferson. Scott has a warm view of anarchism, as seen in his recent Against the Grain. Why have powerful ancient city states like those in Central America risen and, perhaps for good reason, fallen? Scott has won a number of prizes, among them the Fukuoka Asian Culture Prize in 2010, the Benjamin E. Lippincott Award of the American Political Science Association in 2015, and the Prize of the Foundation Mattei Dogan of the International Political Science Association in 2018. He was a Guggenheim Fellow in 1978-79. His works include: The Moral Economy of the Peasant: Rebellion and Subsistence in Southeast Asia, 1977; Weapons of the Weak: Everyday Forms of Peasant Resistance, 1987; Domination and the Arts of Resistance: Hidden Transcripts, 1990; Seeing Like a State: How Certain Schemes to Improve the Human Condition Have Failed, 1999; The Art of Not Being Governed: An Anarchist History of Upland Southeast Asia, 2010; Against the Grain: A Deep History of the Earliest States, 2017. He is a member of the American Academy of Arts & Sciences ( 1992) and the Association for Asian Studies (president, 1997). James C. Scott was elected a member of the American Philosophical Society in 2020.
