BORUCKI FOR HIS VISION AND PERSEVERANCE IN DEVELOPING TECHNIQUES FOR MEASURING THE BRIGHTNESS OF STARS TO UNPRECEDENTED ACCURACY, AND FOR PROVIDING THE SCIENTIFIC LEADERSHIP FOR NASA'S KEPLER SPACE MISSION, WHICH DISCOVERED THOUSANDS OF PLANETARY SYSTEMS AND DEMONSTRATED THAT EARTH-SIZED EXOPLANETS ARE AS COMMON AS STARS. EIGHT OTHER SCIENTISTS, EACH OF WHOM REPRESENTS THE PINNACLE OF REVOLUTIONARY ACHIEVEMENT IN THEIR RESPECTIVE FIELDS, RECEIVED AWARDS, INCLUDING DR. NADRIAN C. SEEMAN (CHEMISTRY), DR. BRIAN F. ATWATER (EARTH AND ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCE), DR. SOLOMON W. GOLOMB (ELECTRICAL ENGINEERING), DR. YALE N. PATT (COMPUTER AND COGNITIVE SCIENCE), DR. ROBERT S. LANGER (LIFE SCIENCE), AND DR. SHU CHIEN (MECHANICAL ENGINEERING). THE JOURNAL OF THE FRANKLIN INSTITUTE, THE SECOND OLDEST SCHOLARLY JOURNAL IN CONTINUOUS PUBLICATION IN THE UNITED STATES, HAS INCREASED THE VOLUME OF ARTICLES PER ISSUE, AS WELL AS THE READERSHIP. ALL 191 YEARS OF THE JOURNAL ARE AVAILABLE ONLINE THROUGH LIBRARIES AND RESEARCH INSTITUTIONS. A KEY PART OF THE VISITOR EXPERIENCE AT THE FRANKLIN INSTITUTE IS SCIENCE PROGRAMMING.
