Seven from MIT elected to American Academy of Arts and Sciences for 2024

Eight MIT faculty members are among the 250 leaders from academia, the arts, industry, public policy, and research elected to the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, the academy announced April 24.

One of the nation’s most prestigious honorary societies, the academy is also a leading center for independent policy research. Members contribute to academy publications, as well as studies of science and technology policy, energy and global security, social policy and American institutions, the humanities and culture, and education.

Those elected from MIT in 2024 are:

Edward F. Crawley, professor of aeronautics and astronautics, post-tenure;

Nathaniel Hendren, professor of economics;

Mei Hong, David A. Leighty Professor of Chemistry;

Tod Machover, Muriel R. Cooper Professor of Interactive Media Design;

Anna Mikusheva, professor of economics;

Elchanan Mossel, professor of mathematics; and

Xiao-Gang Wen, Cecil and Ida Green Professor of Physics.

“We honor these artists, scholars, scientists, and leaders in the public, non-profit, and private sectors for their accomplishments and for the curiosity, creativity, and courage required to reach new heights,” says David Oxtoby, president of the academy. “We invite these exceptional individuals to join in the academy’s work to address serious challenges and advance the common good.”

Since its founding in 1780, the academy has elected leading thinkers from each generation, including George Washington and Benjamin Franklin in the 18th century, Maria Mitchell and Daniel Webster in the 19th century, and Toni Morrison and Albert Einstein in the 20th century. The current membership includes more than 250 Nobel and Pulitzer Prize winners.

dead boy detectives is a show whose shortcomings and strengths make total sense when you think of it as a comic on tv, ie terribly goofy expository dialogue that sounds way better when you picture it in comic book font with every other word bolded, panel-paced conversation as our heroes figure out something very obvious, fun enormous monster set pieces that used up all the cgi budget which is why all the rooftop shots look Like That, incredible snap zooms and smash cuts in montages that hit exactly like comic panels, and side characters with bland or brilliant characterization that seems to hinge on the metric of ‘how much cunt did the actor put into their line readings’

I love when people's fallout OCs have fashionable undercuts. If anyone is buzzing their hair it's with a repurposed gas powered weed wacker in the reflection of a dirty discarded windshield. If you show up to the barber asking for the 2010s dark girlblogger you're gonna leave with the Julie Farkas I'm sorry.

you wanna know what i think about all the time? what my "roman empire" is (to quote an old trend)?

i think about how william brent is doing. how is he? what does he do now that he's not an actor anymore? how's life going for him? And i wonder these things with genuine concern, he's the only member of the cast that completely vanished from the public and honesty I get it, he's obviously not the kind of person that wants to be linked forever to a character he portrait several years ago. i remember that before deleting his social media, there was a period of time where his Instagram's comments were turned off because, years later, people were still calling him "chase." i bet that can get tiring. also, he's a father, so it's probable he just wanted privacy.

in addition, on a recent podcast episode, bradley, jake, and kelli were talking about elite force, and they said they don't even know where william is or how he's doing. i believe, when talking about a possible season two of ef, jake short said "I'd love to do an episode, but we'd have to locate william brent and whatever wilderness he's hiding in."

recently, his wife started posting more on her Instagram account, and from what I see, they are doing well and have a beautiful family together, and honestly, it warms my heart. i hope he's living his best life and he's happy.
