Scientists are nominated for election to CASE by members through an annual election process. Members must live or work in Connecticut. They are elected by the current membership for their accomplishments in science, engineering, and/or technology.
CASE was chartered by the Connecticut General Assembly in 1976 to provide expert guidance on science and technology to the people and state of Connecticut, and to promote the application of science and technology to human welfare and economic well-being.
Blumberg is director of the Mood Disorders Research Program at Yale. Cosgrove is co-director of the T32 Translational Alcohol Research Program in Psychiatry and Public Health at Yale. Pittenger is deputy chair for translational research in the Yale Department of Psychiatry and director of the Clinical Neuroscience Research Unit, Yale Program for Psychedelic Science, Yale Center for Brain and Mind Health, Yale OCD Research Clinic, and the Neuroscience Research Training Program.
