The number of scientists from New Mexico State University (NMSU) recognized on an elite list continues to grow. This year, 41 NMSU researchers have been named to a list of the top 2 percent of scientists worldwide. The list is regularly updated by Stanford University and Elsevier, a publishing company specializing in scientific, technical, and medical content. Last year, 40 NMSU researchers were named to the list, and 25 researchers were named in 2022.
