MacArthur Fellows honor researchers pairing science with justice
Original: This year's MacArthur Fellows include researchers who fuse science and justice
The MacArthur Foundation has announced this year's class of MacArthur Fellows, its so-called genius grants. Among the winners are researchers whose work combines scientific research with social justice goals, according to NPR's coverage of the announcement. The fellowship awards unrestricted prizes to individuals across arts, sciences and advocacy, and the emphasis on justice-oriented science is drawing attention to this year's cohort.
Why now: The annual MacArthur Fellowship announcement is a high-profile event that reliably draws public interest.
