In Memoriam
FQXi mourns the loss of our following Members:
John Barrow (1952–2020; FQXi Advisory Council Member)
Paul Busch (1955–2018)
Jonathan P. Dowling (1955-2020)
David R. Finkelstein (1929-2016)
Joe Polchinski (1954–2018)
H. Dieter Zeh (1932-2018; FQXi Advisory Council Member)
Process to Become a FQXi Member
There are three ways to become an FQXi Member:
- First, successful PIs of FQXi's Large Grant programs are given Membership nominations automatically;
- Second, FQXi solicits nominations from current Members semi-annually. Subject to approval by FQXi, individuals with multiple nominations, whose work fits within FQXi's mission, are invited as Members.
- Third, top FQXi contest winners (1st prize winners) are nominated for Membership and will undergo the same review process as Member nominees.
Please note that an FQXi account (online access to log-in to fqxi.org's forums or applications) does not constitute Membership.
