今年，我们自己的一个人因其对植物科学的贡献而两次获奖。我很高兴向《植物生理学》的副编辑之一格雷厄姆·法夸尔表示祝贺。格雷厄姆于4月当选为美国国家科学院的外籍院士，上个月，他受到了英国女王伊丽莎白二世皇家殿下的表彰，被授予澳大利亚勋章，以表彰他在植物生理学和气候变化领域的科学服务。当选美国国家科学院院士被广泛认为是授予科学家和学者的最高荣誉之一。美国国家科学院庆祝其成立150周年。它是由亚伯拉罕林肯总统于1863年签署的国会法案建立的。国家科学院负责就科学技术相关事宜向美国政府提供独立、客观的建议，其成员资格旨在表彰对研究做出的杰出贡献。澳大利亚勋章成立于1975年，旨在为人类提供有价值的服务，不一定与澳大利亚有关。其他杰出的获奖者包括昂山素季、雅克·库斯托、阿尔夫·莫里斯和纳尔逊·曼德拉。Graham Farquhar在一系列领域和规模上进行了40多年的研究，从细胞到现场。他是为数不多的将物理学和生物学背景带入研究的植物科学家之一。他在澳大利亚墨尔本的莫纳什大学学习物理和数学，在堪培拉的澳大利亚国立大学攻读博士学位之前，他在昆士兰州大学（澳大利亚）完成了生物物理学的第一个学位。格雷厄姆的兴趣包括光合作用、其与植物氮和水利用的相互作用、气孔生理学及其对全球环境变化的影响。他在20世纪80年代的努力导致了一些第一个定量模型的二氧化碳和蒸腾气体交换的植物在该领域，仍然广泛引用的文献。最近，他的研究包括德赖斯代尔的开发，这是一种节水型小麦品种，与理查德理查兹和CSIRO的同事合作。格雷厄姆是政府间气候变化专门委员会的成员，也是2007年诺贝尔和平奖的共同获得者。他是澳大利亚科学院和皇家学会的院士，自1991年以来一直是美国植物生物学家学会的通讯会员，他是澳大利亚领先的引文桂冠得主。对格雷厄姆来说，美国和英国的荣誉齐头并进，揭示了令人愉快的敬畏农场男孩仍然只是在表面之下。他指出，他当选为国家科学院的巨大兴奋，但他补充说，“只有科学家才能理解这意味着什么。虽然是澳大利亚勋章的军官，但大多数澳大利亚人都明白这意味着什么。”
This year has seen one of our very own acknowledged twice over for his contributions to the plant sciences. It is a pleasure for me to add my congratulations to Graham Farquhar, one of the Associate Editors with Plant Physiology. Graham was elected to the US National Academy of Sciences as a foreign associate in April, and this past month he was honored by Her Royal Highness Queen Elizabeth II, charged with the post of Officer of the Order of Australia for service to science in the areas of plant physiology and climate change. Election to the US National Academy of Sciences is widely recognized as one of the highest honors to be bestowed on a scientist and academic. The National Academy of Sciences itself celebrates its 150th year. It was established by an Act of Congress, signed by President Abraham Lincoln, in 1863. The National Academy is charged with providing independent, objective advice to the US government on matters related to science and technology, and membership recognizes outstanding contributions to research. The Order of Australia was established in 1975 for meritorious services to humanity and is not necessarily associated with Australia. Among other distinguished recipients are Aung San Suu Kyi, Jacques Cousteau, Alf Morris, and Nelson Mandela. Graham Farquhar has done research for more than 40 years across a range of fields and scales, from the cellular to the field. He is one of a relatively small number of plant scientists who brings to his research a background in both physics and biology. He studied physics and mathematics at Monash University inMelbourne, Australia, completing his first degree in biophysics at the University of Queensland (Australia) before pursuing his PhD at the Australian National University in Canberra. Graham’s interests include photosynthesis, its interactions with nitrogen and water use of plants, and stomatal physiology and its impact on global environmental change. His efforts in the 1980s led to some of the first quantitative models of CO2 and transpirative gas exchange from plants in the field, still widely cited in the literature. More recently, his research has included the development of Drysdale, a water-efficient strain of wheat in collaboration with Richard Richards and colleagues at CSIRO. Graham is a member of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change and a joint recipient of the 2007 Nobel Peace Prize. He is a fellow of the Australian Academy of Science and of the Royal Society, he has been a Corresponding Member of the American Society of Plant Biologists since 1991, and he is a leading Australian Citation Laureate. For Graham, the US and UK honors go hand-in-hand, revealing the delightfully awestruck farm boy still just below the surface. He notes his enormous thrill at his election to the National Academy, but he adds that “only scientists appreciate what that means. Whereas an Officer of the Order of Australia, most of Australia understands what that means.”
