Today and every day, the NAI applauds the wide-reaching impact of female inventors.
Within the NAI Fellows Program alone, women are responsible for developing groundbreaking technologies, leading industries, and shaping academic cultures. With the election of the 2017 class, the NAI Fellows Program boasts nearly 115 women who are named inventors on more than 1,700 issued U.S. patents and represent 80 research universities and governmental and non-profit research institutes.
Included among these women are 54 members of the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine; 34 AAAS Fellows; 21 Fellows of the American Academy of Arts & Sciences; 11 IEEE Fellows; seven inductees of the National Inventors Hall of Fame; three recipients of the U.S. National Medal of Technology and Innovation and the U.S. National Medal of Science, among many other awards and distinctions.
Join us as we celebrate the inventions and legacies of female inventors this month on Twitter.
