The National Academy of Sciences (NAS) is the highest-profile scientific organization in the country, and membership in it is a career-defining honor newly bestowed on two UC Riverside professors: Mary Droser, distinguished professor of earth and planetary sciences, and Hailing Jin, Cy Mouradick Endowed Chair of microbiology and plant pathology.
Though outstanding contributions to science are a prerequisite, membership in the academy is only possible by an election of peers.
