Michael Damron has recently been selected as a 2019 Kavli Fellow by the National Academies of Sciences.

As a 2019 Kavli Fellow, Prof. Damron attended the fourth Israeli-American Kavli Fronters of Science Symposium in Jerusalem, Israel, in September. The symposium, co-sponsored by the Israel Academy of Sciences and Humanities, provided an overview of advances and opportunities in a wide-ranging set of disciplines including chemistry, physics, medicine, biology, mathematics, and climate science.

Attendees to the Kavli symposia are selected by a committee of Academy members from among young researchers who have already made recognized contributions to science, including recipients of major national fellowships and awards and who have been identified as future leaders in science. The program began in 1989, and from its over 5000 alumni, more than 250 have been elected to the National Academy of Sciences, with 12 having been awarded Nobel Prizes.
