Chicago-Area Scientists Awarded MacArthur Genius Grants
Original: UChicago Physicist, U of I Environmental Scientist Awarded MacArthur ‘Genius Grants’
Two Illinois researchers have been named MacArthur Fellows: a physicist from the University of Chicago and an environmental scientist from the University of Illinois. The awards, often called genius grants, come with significant no-strings-attached funding and recognise exceptional creativity across fields. Both winners were highlighted by WTTW News in Chicago.
Why now: The MacArthur Foundation's annual fellowship announcements draw wide attention as one of the most prestigious honors in American academia.
