What does it feel like to win $500,000 for your research? Ask any one of these 7 brilliant women, who along with 24 others were named 2013 MacArthur Fellows. For those of you unfamiliar with the MacArthur Foundation, they award "creative people" that they deem committed to "building a more just, verdant, and peaceful world." Sounds like a pretty awesome goal to me! And the awardees they chose are doing just that.
