MOSCOW, Idaho (CBS2) — The University of Idaho (UI) has more scientists at the top of its field than all other Idaho research institutions and Idaho National Laboratory (INL) combined, according to the 2024 version of the Stanford/Elsevier Top 2% Scientists List. In it, 54 UI researchers were named.
Researchers worldwide are categorized into 22 broad scientific fields and 174 sub-fields. Only those ranking in the top two percent of their sub-field are included. The cumulative list started in 1960.
Of the 54 UI researchers on the list, over half are still actively employed and conducting research at U of I in the Agricultural and Life Sciences, Natural Resources, Engineering and Science colleges and at Idaho WWAMI, the state’s medical school. These leaders in their fields also help train the next generation of scientists.
