Prix Phi Beta Kappa en science
Le prix des sciences Phi Beta Kappa est décerné chaque année par la Phi Beta Kappa aux auteurs de livres d'importance traitant des domaines des sciences et des mathématiques. La notoriété de la fraternité (17 présidents des États-Unis et plus de 150 prix Nobel parmi ses membres) ainsi que celles de certains de ses lauréats participent à faire du prix Phi Beta Kappa une récompense plus que notable dans le monde académique[1].
