The National Academy of Sciences this year elected five Columbia professors into its membership, one of the highest honors that can be accorded to a scientist in the United States. Chosen by their peers in recognition of their outstanding achievements in research, physicist Dmitri Basov, dermatologist and geneticist Angela Christiano, physicist Andrew Millis, biologist Molly Przeworski, and geneticist Lorraine S. Symington will formally join the academy at its 158th annual meeting in April 2021.
