Professor Kai Kaarniranta and Professor Heikki Tanila invited to the Finnish Academy of Science and Letters

Professor of Ophthalmology Kai Kaarniranta and Professor of Translational Neuroscience Heikki Tanila from the University of Eastern Finland have been elected as new members of the Finnish Academy of Science and Letters.

The Finnish Academy of Science and Letters invites Finnish academics and scientists who have distinguished themselves in their own fields to become members. The new members were elected in the Finnish Academy of Science and Letters’ Annual General Meeting which, due to the pandemic, wasn’t exceptionally held until on 4 September.

The Finnish Academy of Science and Letters is a broad-based learned society with the principal aim of promoting scientific research and acting as a bond between those engaged in advanced research. Members of the Finnish Academy of Science and Letters are at the top of their profession, and being invited as a member constitutes a distinguished achievement in a scientist’s career.
