<p>I didn’t think Yale people are that confused.</p>
<p>The members of national academy of sciences come from all fields, including physical sciences, biological sciences, medical sciences, and social sciences (such as economics, politics, sociology, linguistics, psycology, …).</p>
<p>The members of Institute of medicine come from medical science fields, biomedical and health fields.</p>
<p>The members of national academy of engineering indeed come from engineering and applied sciences, which may not be a big deal for IVY league universities. But I do admire those engineers. It is they who make the world better, more convinient, and more charming. They are my heros.</p>

<p>What do you think are more important, and measurable criteria for faculty reputation?</p>
