<p>Princeton</a> University - Groves earns Frontiers in Biological Chemistry Award</p>
<p>Following impressive showings in elections for membership in the American Academy of Arts & Sciences and the National Academy of Sciences, Princeton faculty members have added even more awards to their resumes. </p>
<p>The American Academy of Arts & Letters has just announced its election of new members. Out of a total of eight new appointments, three have Princeton connections (two faculty members and one alumnus). The American Academy of Arts & Letters members are selected for reaching the highest level of artistic achievement. </p>
<p>The 250-member academy was established in 1898 to "foster, assist and sustain an interest in literature, music and the fine arts," and includes the most notable writers, musicians and artists in the country. </p>

<p>The two Princeton faculty members are professor of philosophy Kwame Anthony Appiah, and Pulitzer Prize winning poet Paul Muldoon, Chair of the Lewis Center For the Arts. In addition to these two, the Princeton graduate and Pulitzer Prize winning biographer, Robert Caro, was also elected to the Academy.</p>
<p>It has also just been announced that John Groves, the Hugh Stott Taylor Chair in Chemistry, will receive the Frontiers in Biological Chemistry Award for 2009 from the Max Planck Institute for Bioinorganic Chemistry in Mülheim an der Ruhr, Germany.</p>
<p>The award was established by the institute in 1995 to honor an internationally renowned scientist in the field of either bioinorganic chemistry or biological photochemistry. Awardees are invited to give a series of lectures. That event is capped by a special award lecture in which the honoree addresses a general audience. Groves is expected to receive his award next winter.</p>
