It is one of the greatest honours a scientist can get, and it marks their outstanding achievements in science.

They are - Véronique Gouverneur, Waynflete Professor of Chemistry, Department of Chemistry, Desmond King, Andrew Mellon Professor of American Government, Department of Politics and International Relations, and Andrew McMichael, Emeritus Professor of Molecular Medicine, Centre for Immuno-Oncology, Nuffield Department of Medicine.

While commenting on this, Véronique Gouverneur said, "I am thrilled to receive this recognition, and grateful to all members of my team who serve society through science. Becoming a member of the National Academy of Sciences is a privilege, and a superb opportunity to connect with a remarkable community."

"I am immensely grateful to the NAS for this great honour, which also attests to the wonderfully supportive environment of Oxford University especially colleagues in the department of politics and Nuffield College. Membership of NAS is a further opportunity to engage in high level social science research with colleagues in the US and elsewhere," said Desmond King.

Oxford's CO2RE Programme Funds Seven Artists For Greenhouse Projects

The University of Oxford’s Smith School of Enterprise and the Environment has announced the selection of seven artists under the CO2RE programme to be funded to explore greenhouse gas removal projects.

While commenting on this, Natasha Martirosian, Research Associate, CO2RE said, "Our hopes for CO2RE Arts expand beyond the projects we’ve funded, as CO2RE believes science and engineering, including their conceptualisation, design and delivery, as well as innovations that follow, are cultural practices. Meaning that artists, creative practitioners and the arts and humanities have a key role to play in their delivery. This initiative will help bring those contributions together to move forward our understanding and use of GGR."
