Honorary Fellows elected in 2002

Jillian Frances Evans, is currently a Director of Merck Research Laboratories in New Jersey, USA, where she directs their research on new drugs. The identification of several new receptors as targets for new drug development has been her major research focus recently. In addition, Dr Evans is an authority on the biochemistry and pharmacology of prostaglandins, leukotrienes and lipoxins. Wherever she travels in New Zealand she demonstrates a strong commitment to encouraging the teaching of science, and to encouraging young women to enter science.

Warwick Fairley Vincent, Canada Research Chair in Aquatic Ecosystem Studies, Université Laval, Canada, is an eminent aquatic scientist and head of a world-leading team devoted to the study of the ecology of polar freshwaters and of the influence of UV-radiation in natural waters. He has made major contributions to New Zealand's lake and ocean ecosystems, and to research in the Ross Sea sector of Antarctica. His studies have covered the productivity of the New Zealand Exclusive Economic Zone, nuisance algal blooms in lakes, the impact of catchment nutrients in lakes, and the role of ultra-violet radiation and climate change on aquatic systems. He currently maintains a high level of involvement in New Zealand science.

Mark Warner, Professor of Physics, University of Cambridge, is one of the world's leading physicists working in the field of soft condensed matter. He has developed the definitive theories on liquid crystalline and other ordered, non-linear elastomers for which he has been awarded the Maxwell Medal and Prize of the Institute of Physics. His recent work with Heino Finkelmann of Freiburg University on soft elasticity and mechanico-optical coupling in elastomers has won him the Humboldt Research Prize. Mark Warner is one of those rare theorists who communicates fluently with experimentalists. His mathematics is always elegant and crisp and he brings deep physical insight to bear in tackling the complex processes which govern order, dynamics and deformation. He was born and educated in New Zealand and maintains strong scientific and personal links here. He is one of our most distinguished scientists living abroad.
