Aradhna Tripati is named a Kavli Fellow by the National Academy of Sciences. She chairs a session on Pleistocene to Modern Records of Climate Change at the Korean-American Kavli Frontiers of Science Symposium. Annually 80 young scientists are selected who have already made recognized contributions to science, such as recipients of Sloan, Packard, and MacArthur fellowships, winners of the Waterman award, Beckman Young Investigators, and the Presidential Early Career Awardfor Scientists and Engineers. They bring us together for symposia to learn about each other's research. Since its inception, 136 program"alumni" have been elected to the NAS and eight have won Nobel Prizes.
