Kenneth Miller

In May Kenneth Miller (PhDBio), a biology professor at Brown University, was awarded the Laetare Medal at Notre Dame University’s commencement ceremonies. It is described as the “oldest and most prestigious award” given to American Catholics. Notre Dame’s president said his work “illustrates how science and faith can mutually flourish.” A cell biologist, Kenneth is co-author of the nation’s most widely used high school biology textbook and has received numerous other honors, including the American Association for the Advancement of Science award for advancing the public’s understanding of science.
