Among the 22 fellows selected for 2024 were Vanderbilt astrophysicist Keivan Guadalupe Stassun, Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution ocean scientist Ben Van Mooy, Cal Tech evolutionary biologist Joseph Parker, and Yale evolutionary biologist Martha Munoz. The U.S. National Science Foundation has supported the careers of these individuals, who are making a positive difference in our world through their ingenious contributions to science, technology, engineering and mathematics.
"I can draw a line through every stage of my career, where the through-line has been NSF's commitment to societal impact and broadening participation and STEM talent development," said Stassun, NRT principal investigator of the Neurodiversity Inspired Science and Engineering (NISE) NRT project at Vanderbilt University. "NSF support has been the juice that fueled my career every step of the way, and in a very real and direct way, the impacts that are being recognized with this honor today would not have been possible otherwise."
