His involvement as a member of the Executive Board of Penn Law’s Center for Ethics and the Rule of Law and his National Lifetime Achievement Award from Marquis Who’s Who in America and Marquis Who’s Who in American Law are among the achievements recognized through this special resolution.
Brenda Casper: Fellow of the Ecological Society of America
Brenda B. Casper, professor of biology and chair of the department of earth and environmental science, has been elected a fellow of the Ecological Society of America (ESA). The Society’s fellowship program recognizes the many ways in which its members contribute to ecological research and discovery, communication, education and pedagogy, and management and policy. Elected members have made outstanding contributions to a wide range of fields served by ESA, advancing and applying ecological knowledge in academics, government, non-profit organizations, and the broader society. Members are elected for life.
The Casper plant ecology lab’s research is wide-ranging, with recent projects focusing on the responses of plants and soil microbes to various stresses including climate change, soil contaminants, and the inhospitable environment of coastal sand dunes. The ESA cited Dr. Casper’s decades of contributions to ecological understanding in plant reproductive ecology, population biology, and foundational work in plant-soil feedbacks; mentoring and training experimental ecologists; and leadership positions enhancing science communication and undergraduate education.
ESA established its fellowship program in 2012 with the goal of honoring its members and supporting their competitiveness and advancement to leadership positions in the Society, at their institutions, and in the field.
James Corner: American Academy of Arts and Letters
Professor emeritus James Corner, MLA’86, a renowned landscape architect and urban designer who is founder and CEO at James Corner Field Operations, has been elected to the American Academy of Arts and Letters. The honor is widely considered the highest form of recognition of artistic merit in the United States.
“Jim has been a major force in both design theory and landscape architecture practice, and his teaching at Penn was central to that,” said Fritz Steiner, dean and Paley Professor at the Weitzman School.
Richard Weller, professor and chair of the department of landscape architecture and Martin and Margy Meyerson Chair of Urbanism, said, “Jim lit up the field with his writings on ecology, urbanism, and design and then went on to build seminal projects such as the High Line and Freshkills Park in New York.”
Mr. Corner is one of just 29 newly elected members for 2021—along with Barbara Kingsolver, Wynton Marsalis, and Faith Ringgold—and one of only six architects. Membership in the Academy is limited to 300 architects, visual artists, composers, and writers who are elected for life by vote of the existing membership and pay no dues.
Since earning his master of landscape architecture degree at Penn in 1986, Mr. Corner has devoted the past 30+ years to advancing the field of landscape architecture and urbanism, primarily through his leadership on high-visibility, complex urban projects around the world, as well as through teaching, public speaking and writing. At Penn, he has served on the faculty in the department of landscape architecture since 1989 and was the chair from 2000 to 2012.
Mr. Corner is the fifth Penn-affiliated architect elected to the Academy. He and the other new members and honorary members will be inducted into the American Academy of Arts and Letters during its virtual award ceremony on Wednesday, May 19 at 7 p.m.
Karen Glanz: NIH Working Group
Karen Glanz, the George A. Weiss University Professor in the School of Nursing and the Perelman School of Medicine and a senior fellow at the Leonard Davis Institute of Health Economics, has been appointed to the National Institutes of Health (NIH) Behavioral and Social Sciences Research (BSSR) Integration Working Group.
The working group is Congressionally mandated to identify and recommend strategies for a more robust and focused NIH commitment to behavioral science research and training. The charge of the NIH BSSR Integration working group is to assess the current status of BSSR in NIH supported research and training and identify existing processes that should continue or be enhanced, and prepare a report including recommendations on ways to encourage greater BSSR integration and relevance to the research supported across the NIH.
“One reason I was invited to serve on this group is that I’ve served on the National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute (NHLBI) Advisory Council for the past four years,” said Dr. Glanz. “The organizers were interested in having senior behavioral/social science researchers who are also familiar with how planning and funding decisions are made at the various Institutes. I’m excited to have this opportunity to contribute to improving the quality and scope of BSSR sponsored by the NIH.”
Katrin Hinrichs: Honorary Doctorate from Ghent University, Belgium
Ghent University in Belgium has presented an honorary doctorate to Katrin Hinrichs, whose pioneering research in the field of equine assisted reproductive technology (ART) has transformed the state of equine reproductive practice around the world. Dr. Hinrichs is the chair of the department of clinical studies at New Bolton Center and the Harry Werner Endowed Professor of Equine Medicine at Penn Vet.
Ghent University’s honorary doctorate degrees recognize individuals for their exceptional scientific and social merits. Dr. Hinrichs was recognized on March 19 during Ghent University’s Dies Natalis 2021 ceremony, held virtually.
In their citation, the university praised Dr. Hinrichs for her achievements in intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) and other ARTs in horses.
“Assisted reproduction in horses is puzzling scientists. For some unknown reason, the easiest and fastest way, in vitro fertilization (IVF), does not work in horses,” the university said in its citation. “That there is an alternative is largely due to the pioneering work of Professor Katrin Hinrichs.”
Dr. Hinrichs joined Penn Vet in March 2020 after 22 years at Texas A&M University’s College of Veterinary Medicine & Biomedical Sciences.
As a leading international authority in equine ART, Dr. Hinrichs has significantly advanced understanding of equine oocyte maturation, fertilization, and early embryonic development. This foundational knowledge led her lab to develop and report on major advances that have revolutionized equine assisted reproduction, including oocyte retrieval, in vitro oocyte maturation, intracytoplasmic sperm injection, in vitro embryo development, preimplantation diagnosis, and somatic cell nuclear transfer.
“I find Katrin’s vision enormously refreshing,” said Ann Van Soom of the Faculty of Veterinary Medicine at Ghent and promoter of the honorary doctorate. “You don’t meet many people like that in the research world: someone who is so open and thinks along with you.”
Kellie Ann Jurado: Linda Pechenik Montague Investigator Award
Kellie Ann Jurado, Presidential Assistant Professor in the department of microbiology, has been awarded the Fiscal Year 2021 Linda Pechenik Montague Investigator Award. The award was created in 2013 by philanthropist Linda Pechenik Montague to support the work of some of the most promising mid-career research faculty at the Perelman School of Medicine. It provides a total of $100,000 to spend toward research program advancement and is applied within a two-year period.
