	Mogens Trolle Larsen has used ancient Assyrian texts to explore the areas shared by the humanities and the social sciences. Larsen has done this through studies of ancient merchants in Anatolia; issues of literacy; the work and temperament of Mesopotamian men and women; the connection between their families and their societies; and on the broadest economic and historical dynamics of their era in western Asia, on issues of literacy, science, and even sentiment. He has also examined the saga of nineteenth century exploration in Mesopotamia as a part of European intellectual history; his book on the subject has appeared in four languages, and other translations are in progress. Larsen is the author of seven monographs, a number of edited volumes, and over forty scholarly articles. Although officially retired, he continues to pursue a vigorous scholarly agenda. He received a D.Phil. in 1966 and a Ph.D. in 1975 from the University of Copenhagen. His published works include The Old Assyrian City-state and its Colonies (1976) and The Conquest of Assyria: Excavations in an Antique Land, 1840-1860 (1996), and he is the editor of Culture & History, Copenhagen.

	Larissa Adler Lomnitz is a pioneer in the study of social networks who earned her Ph.D. from the Universidad Iberoamericana, Mexico in 1974. Her classic study of poor families in Mexico City showed how they mobilize social capital to survive under marginal economic conditions by using fictive kinship to expand networks and gain access to resources while diversifying risks. Her study of a Mexican entrepreneurial family, in contrast, revealed that elites limit their social networks to conserve social capital and marshal trust. Her study of school teachers in Chile drew upon social networks in much the same way as lower class urban dwellers to survive in the wake of restructuring. Based on this work, she developed an influential theory of informal network exchange that formed the basis of network theory in migration studies and social capital theory. She has also done formative work on the socialization of scientists and professionals within developing country settings. She won the Mexican National Prize for Social Science in 1990. She is the author of a number of books, including: Migration and Networks in Latin America, 1974; Networks and Marginality, 1975; (L. Adler Lomnitz, et al) Culture & Ideology: Anthropological Perspectives, 1982; (with M. Perez-Lizaur) A Mexican Elite Family, 1820-1980: Kinship, Class, and Culture, 1988; (with L. Meyer) La Nueva Clase, 1988; (L. Adler Lomnitz, et al) Chile’s Middle Class: A Struggle for Survival in the Face of Neoliberalism, 1991; Redes Sociales, Cultura, y Poder: Ensayos de Antropología Latinoamericana, 1994; (with A. Melnick) Chile’s Political Culture and Parties: An Anthropological Explanation, 2000; (with R. Salazar Elena, I. Adler) Simbolismo y Ritual en la Política Mexicana, 2004.

	Glenn Loury is an outstanding economist who has combined a track record of important and influential papers in applied economic theory with a profound commitment to the use of quantitative social science to address issues of race and inequality in America, a subject in which he is considered one of the leading intellectuals of the day. Having earned his Ph.D. from Massachusetts Institute of Technology in 1976, he has written foundational papers in many different literatures of economics. Among the subjects he has considered are the role of weak capital markets in the transmission of inequality; the role of market structure in promoting innovation; optimal taxation; exploitation of natural resources; the implications of affirmative action policies for worker and employer perceptions and decisions; the role of social capital in influencing economic behavior and outcomes; and the social and economic consequences of racial stigma. He has also been influential in terms of mentoring young economists interested in issues of race and inequality. In recognition of his work, he has won the American Book Award (1996), the Christianity Today Book Award (1996), and the John von Neumann Award (2005), and has been member of both the Council on Foreign Relations and the American Academy of Arts & Sciences (2000). His books include: One by One, From the Inside Out: Essays and Reviews on Race and Responsibility in America, 1995; The Anatomy of Racial Inequality, 2002; Race, Incarceration and American Values: The Tanner Lectures, 2008. He was elected a member of the American Philosophical Society in 2011.

	Ben Mottelson is one of the giants of theoretical nuclear physics. With Aage Bohr, he discovered the connection between collective and single particle motion in atomic nuclei, thus establishing the modern framework for understanding the rich experimental behavior of nuclei. For this discovery, he, Bohr, and Rainwater received the 1975 Nobel Prize in Physics. The two volume study, Nuclear Structure, is the standard in the field. With Pines and Bohr, he pioneered the application of BCS theory of superconductivity to nuclei. He has been a major international figure, a founder and first director of the European Center for Nuclear Theory, and proponent of international cooperation - recognized by election to many nations’ scientific academies. He remains quite scientifically active, focusing on two new areas: man-made finite quantal systems (e.g., metallic clusters, quantum dots, and ultracold atomic clouds), which, as he has shown, can be fruitfully viewed as "artificial" nuclei; and reinterpretation of the foundations of quantum mechanics, where the central issue he grapples with is the role of fortuitousness in the theory. He received his Ph.D. from Harvard University in 1950 and was awarded the John Wetherill Medal in 1974. He is a member of the Royal Danish Academy of Science and Letters (1958 - foreign, 1974 - (Danish), the National Academy of Sciences (1973), and the American Academy of Arts & Sciences (1971). He was elected a member of the American Philosophical Society in 2011.

	William T. Newsome is Harman Family Provostial Professor, Vincent V. C. Woo Director of the Stanford Neurosciences Institute, Professor of Neurobiology and, by courtesy, of Psychology, Stanford University. In 2013 he was enlisted to co-lead the working group for President Obama's $100 million BRAIN initiative. Studying the primate visual system with a combination of behavioral, electrophysiological, and computational techniques, William Newsome has provided a deep understanding of the neural mechanisms mediating basic cognitive functions, including motion perception and decision. The most compelling evidence for the relationship between the response of individual neurons and perception has come from Newsome’s work. Newsome and colleagues recorded the activity of motion selective neurons in area MT in alert monkeys while the animals carried out a task designed to report the direction of motion in a random dot display. They found that the firing of most neurons in this task correlated extremely well with the performance of the monkey. Thus, directional information encoded by the neurons of a single column in MT is sufficient to account for the subject’s judgment. They then found that stimulation altered the animal’s judgment, biasing judgments toward the particular direction of motion encoded by the neurons that were stimulated. Thus, the firing of a relatively small population of motion sensitive neurons in MT, perhaps as few as 200, directly contributes to perception. He earned his Ph.D. in 1980 from the California Institute of Technology. He has won a number of awards, including the W. Alden Spencer Award from Columbia University in 1994, the Distinguished Scientific Contribution Award from the American Psychological Association in 2002, and the Karl Spencer Lashley Award from the American Philosophical Society in 2010. He was elected a member of the National Academy of Sciences in 2000 and the American Philosophical Society in 2011.

	Roger Penrose has been producing original and important scientific ideas for half a century, having earned his Ph.D. from St. Johns College, Cambridge in 1957. His work is characterized by exceptional geometrical and physical insight. He applied new mathematical techniques to Einstein’s general relativity and led the renaissance in gravitation theory in the 1960s. His novel ideas on space and time and his concept of "twistors" are increasingly influential. This remarkable mathematical theory combining algebraic and geometrical methods has been one of his major breakthroughs. Even his recreations have had intellectual impact: for instance, his studies of the "impossible figures" in Escher’s artwork, and the never-repeating patterns of "Penrose tiling." He has influenced and stimulated a wide public through his lectures and his best-selling and wide-ranging books, including: Techniques of Differential Topology in Relativity, 1972; (with W. Rindler) Spinors and Space-Time, Vol. 1, 1984, Vol. 2, 1986; The Emperor’s New Mind, 1989; Shadows of the Mind, 1996; Collected Works (six volumes), 2010. He has won a number of awards, including the W. H. Heinemann Prize (1971), the Science Book Prize (1990), Order of Merit (1994), the Eddington Medal of the Royal Astronomical Society, De Morgan Medal of the London Mathematical Society (2004) and the Copley Medal of the Royal Society (2008), and belongs to a number of academic societies, including the Royal Society, the Royal Irish Academy, the Polish Academy of Sciences, and the National Academy of Sciences (1998).

	Birth Date:	1955

	Robert Sampson’s work has focused on the social organization of cities, contributing path-breaking research on the effects of neighborhoods on crime and social inequality. Early on he began tracking the careers of men born during the Depression and incarcerated during adolescence, following them to age 70. He demonstrated marked differences in the extent of later criminal behavior, and that its forms were linked to the social bonds they formed as well as changes in their individual attitudes. Later, his studies of race and crime, on the social meaning and implications of “visible” disorder in cities, the tangled effects of social inequality and its spatial concentrations, and the character of collective civic engagement in cities from the 1960s through the current period have sharpened our understanding of these important phenomena. He is known for having introduced careful distinctions between individual and contextual effects and for using new spatial techniques in systematic social observation to address old questions such as why the distribution of poverty across Chicago neighborhoods has remained stable despite marked shifts in population within them. Sampson has consistently shown a fine-tuned sense for important research problems, has devised original procedures for data collection and analysis and in so doing, has strongly influenced the agenda for studies of urban phenomena, world-wide. He earned his Ph.D. from State University of New York in 1983. He is the author of several works, including: (with T. Castellano, J. Laub) Juvenile Criminal Behavior and Its Relation to Neighborhood Characteristics, 1981; (with J. Laub) Crime in the Making: Pathways and Turning Points Through Life, 1993; (with G. Squires, M. Zhou) How Neighborhoods Matter: The Value of Investing at the Local Level, 2001; (with J. Laub) Shared Beginnings, Divergent Lives: Delinquent Boys to Age 70, 2003. He was elected a member of the American Academy of Arts & Sciences in 2005, the National Academy of Sciences in 2006, and the American Philosophical Society in 2011. He was recently awarded the Stockholm Prize in Criminology (2011).

	Ismail Serageldin’s list of chairmanships, professional associations, publications, and honors is as impressive as it is long, and it is not without reason that he was selected to head the modern incarnation of the ancient Library of Alexandria. His push for an Arab liberalism and a new focus on knowledge, education, and a cultural shift away from the condemnations of modernity he feels holds back both the Arab and Islamic worlds is certainly work to be commended. Outside of his powerful ideas, however, Serageldin’s prominent leadership abilities stand out. His work at the World Bank and at the Library of Alexandria is that of a person of passion and compassion and a builder of much needed bridges, both interculturally and interpersonally. He earned his Ph.D. from Harvard University in 1972 and has gone on to author numerous books, including: Nurturing Development, 1995; Architecture of Empowerment 1997; (with W. Collins) Biotechnology and Biosafety, 1999; (with G. Persley) Promethean Science, 2000; (with G. Persley) Biotechnology and Sustainable Development: Voices of the South and North, 2003; (with E. Masood) Changing Lives, 2006; Reflections on our Digital Future, 2006; Inventing our Future: Essays on Freedom, Democracy and Reform in the Arab World, second edition 2007; Freedom of Expression, 2007; Islam and Democracy, 2008. Among his honors are being named Officer of the Order of Arts and Letters (2003) and Knight of the French Legion of Honor (2008); The Jamnalal Bajaj Award for promoting Ghandian values outside India (2006); named to the Order of the Rising Sun - Gold and Silver Star by the Emperor of Japan (2008); the National Academy of Sciences' Public Welfare Medal (2011); and election to both the Academy of Sciences of the Developing World and the Egyptian Academy of Science. He recently followed in Napoleon Bonaparte's footsteps by becoming Vice President of the Institut d'Egypte, the second oldest scientific institute outside of Europe.

	Pat Thaddeus’ astronomy research career centered on molecules. His pioneering and sophisticated laboratory methods of generating exotic molecules that might be observable in space, and measuring their spectra so as to be able to find these molecules in space through these microwave spectral signatures, enabled him to be without peer in this field. He and his group have thus discovered approximately 20 percent of the approximate 160 molecules now known to exist in interstellar space. His most important discoveries ranged from (unexpected) long carbon-chain molecules to (even more unexpected) negative ions, all of which have had a major impact on our understanding of the chemistry of interstellar space. He and his group have also conducted truly unique large-scale surveys of interstellar carbon monoxide which is a proxy for the difficult to observe hydrogen molecule; the high point of these surveys was the production of an exquisite, detailed map of our galaxy in three dimensions (radial velocity as well as sky coordinates), which now adorns walls in observatories world wide and has led to many further advances in our understanding of the structure of the Milky Way Galaxy. He earned his Ph.D. in 1960 from Columbia University. He was elected a member of the National Academy of Sciences in 1987 and of the American Academy of Arts & Sciences in 1989, and received the Herschel Medal of the Royal Astronomical Society in 2001 and the Sir Harold Thompson Memorial Award in 2002. He was elected a member of the American Philosophical Society in 2011. Patrick Thaddeus died April 28, 2017, at the age of 84.

	Keith Stewart Thomson served as the American Philosophical Society’s Executive Officer from July 1, 2012, to June 12, 2017. He graduated from the University of Birmingham (UK) in 1960 and then moved to Harvard University, earning a Ph.D. in biology in 1963. His dissertation was on the evolution of air-breathing at the transition between fishes and the first land animals. He continued to study both fossil and living fishes when he returned to England as NATO Postdoctoral Fellow at University College London (1963-1965) before going to Yale University (1965-1987), first as a faculty member of the Biology Department, where he was also appointed Curator of Fishes in the Peabody Museum of Natural History, and later as its Director and Dean of the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences. At Yale his studies of ancient fishes inevitably drew him both to the “living fossil” lungfishes and the extraordinary living coelacanth. In 1966 he obtained for study the first fresh specimen of the coelacanth from the Comoro Islands (Living Fossil, 1991). His overall goal was to understand fossils in the same physiological, biomechanical, and ecological terms as we study living animals. In the process he published more than 200 papers on subjects ranging from the evolution of cell size and DNA content in lungfish and intracranial mechanics in the coelacanth and its fossil relatives, to the origin of the tetrapod middle ear and the body shape and swimming mechanics of sharks. From an early interest in embryology, it was but a short step to study the roles that developmental processes play in evolution, and to writing Morphogenesis and Evolution (1988). As an evolutionary biologist he naturally became interested in Charles Darwin and that led to a broader interest in the history of science (for example HMS Beagle, the Story of Darwin’s Ship, 1995). He moved to Philadelphia as President and CEO of the Academy of Natural Sciences (1987-1995), which included heading a successful capital campaign for a new library building and a research laboratory on Chesapeake Bay. In 1996 he was appointed University Distinguished Scientist-in-Residence at the New School for Social Research in New York City, where he introduced the first science curriculum and taught both biology and history of science. In 1998 he was elected to be the first director (in modern times) of the Oxford University Museum, Professor of Natural History, and a Fellow of Kellogg College. At Oxford he was heavily involved in the creation of a new national program of funding for regional (i.e. not state-funded) museums. After retiring in 2003 he returned to Philadelphia to write, and was based at the American Philosophical Society as Senior Research Fellow. He was elected a member of the American Philosophical Society in 2011. His recent books include: The Watch on the Heath (published in the USA as Before Darwin) and Fossils: a Very Short Introduction, both in 2005; The Legacy of the Mastodon (2008); A Passion for Nature: Thomas Jefferson and Natural History (2008); The Young Charles Darwin (2009); Jefferson’s Shadow: The Story of his Science (2012), and Private Doubt, Public Dilemma (2015).
