Staples Grad Named MacArthur Fellow

 Andrea Dutton, a 1991 Staples High School graduate, has been named a 2019 MacArthur Fellow—the so-called “genius” awards. Recipient of a $625,000 no-strings attached award distributed over five years, Dutton is a geochemist and paleoclimatologist investigating changes in sea levels and ice sheet mass. She is the second Staples 1991 graduate to receive the prestigious award. Photographer Lynsey Addario received the award in 2009. (CLICK TO ENLARGE) MacArthur Foundation photo
