Dr. Anthony Fauci was elected as a fellow in the United Kingdom's Royal Society, the oldest scientific academy in continuous existence, just days before he came under fire after the House Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Pandemic combed through emails from Dr. David Morens, his former longtime senior adviser.
The Royal Society nominated 90 researchers from around the world who "continue to push the boundaries of possibility in academic research and industry," said President Sir Adrian Smith. Since the late 1600s, the Royal Society has recognized many prominent scientists, including Isaac Newton, Benjamin Franklin, Charles Darwin, Albert Einstein, David Attenborough, and Elon Musk.
Newsweek reached out to the Royal Society and Georgetown University Medical Center, where Fauci holds a professorship, via email for comment on Friday.
celebrated by science's academia even as repugs try to dirty his name.Fauci, the former director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases and former Chief Medical Advisor to President Joe Biden, is an immunologist with a long list of accolades accumulated over his career focusing on HIV/AIDS, Ebola, and most recently, COVID-19. In 2008, then-President George W. Bush awarded Fauci the Presidential Medal of Freedom. He has been awarded 62 honorary doctoral degrees from universities worldwide.
