**Lars Hernquist,** Mallinckrodt Professor of Astrophysics at Harvard, received the 2026 Henry Norris Russell Lectureship at the AAS 247 conference in January 2026. The honor celebrates a career of eminence in astronomical research, for a lifetime of pioneering theories, numerical techniques, and simulations that underpin our understanding of galaxy formation, structure, and evolution, the formation of stars and supermassive black holes, and the large-scale structure of the universe; and for training and mentoring generations of early career astronomers.
