SCS Faculty: Members of National Academy of Sciences
--The National Academy of Sciences (NAS) is a private, non-profit,
society of distinguished scholars engaged in scientific and engineering
research, dedicated to the furtherance of science and technology and to
their use for the general welfare. Upon the authority of the charter
granted to it by the Congress in 1863, the Academy has a mandate that
requires it to advise the federal government on
scientific and technical matters. Members and foreign associates are
elected in recognition of their distinguished and continuing achievements
in original research; election to the Academy is considered one of the
highest honors that can be accorded a scientist or engineer.
