Nobel Laureates are among the busiest people on earth! They receive literally thousands of invitations to attend meetings and conferences as well as to conduct joint research. UM is most fortunate to be able to have three Nobel Laureates agreeing to become UM Nobel Fellow and to serve on the UM High Impact Research (HIR) Advisory Council.
