2018年12月19日，颜宁应邀访问山东大学青岛校区，作了题为“How is electrical signal generated? Structure and mechanistic investigations of Nav channels”的学术报告，并为本科生上了一堂科普课。她在报告中指出钠离子电压门控通道在兴奋性细胞中参与维持静息电位和动作电位的发生，与正常的生理功能调控以及疾病的发生密切相关。颜宁从钠离子通道的结构入手，首先解析了细菌中的钠离子通道NavRh的结构，随着冷冻电镜技术的革新，进一步解析了真核生物蟑螂和电鳗的钠离子通道结构，以及人的Nav1.4通道的结构；分享了在解析人的Nav1.4通道的结构中遇到的瓶颈和解决思路，重点谈到优化膜蛋白Nav1.4的蛋白性质和解决冷冻电镜样品制备中蛋白变性问题；修正了传统的钠离子通道活性调控的“Ball and Chain”模型，提出了变构阻断机制 [5] 。
美国艺术与科学院（又译为美国人文与科学院、美国文理科学院，英语：American Academy of Arts and Sciences，简称AAAS）是美国历史最悠久的院士机构及地位最为崇高的荣誉团体之一，也是进行独立政策研究的学术中心。自从约翰·亚当斯、约翰·汉考克、詹姆斯·鲍登及其他的建国先贤于独立战争期间创立美国艺术与科学院以来，当选为其院士一直被认为是美国的最高荣誉之一。 [3]
美国艺术与科学院建立之时，美国正在法国等国的协助下与英国作战，所以美国的创立者选择比照包括作家、人文学人、科学家、军事家、政治家在内的法兰西学术院，而不是仅涵盖自然科学的英国皇家学会，建立新大陆的学术院，并在正式名称中选用“Arts and Sciences”一词表示其覆盖全部学术和专业领域。“Arts and Sciences”有多种中文译法，包括“艺术与科学”、“人文与科学”、“文理科学”等。
美国艺术与科学院的创院院士包括：Samuel Adams, John Adams, John Bacon, James Bowdoin, Charles Chauncy, John Clark, David Cobb, Samuel Cooper, Thomas Cushing, Nathan Cushing, William Cushing, Tristram Dalton, Francis Dana, Samuel Deane, Perez Fobes, Caleb Gannett, Henry Gardner, Benjamin Guild, John Hancock, Joseph Hawley, Edward Augustus Holyoke, Ebenezer Hunt, Jonathan Jackson, Charles Jarvis, Samuel Langdon, Levi Lincoln, Daniel Little, Elijah Lothrup, John Lowell, Samuel Mather, Samuel Moody, Andrew Oliver, Joseph Orne, Theodore Parsons, George Partridge, Robert Treat Paine, Phillips Payson, Samuel Phillips, Jr., John Pickering, Oliver Prescott, Zedekiah Sanger, Nathaniel Peaslee Sargeant, Micajah Sawyer, Theodore Sedgwick, William Sever, Stephen Sewall, David Sewall, John Sprague, Ebenezer Storer, Caleb Strong, James Sullivan, John Bernard Sweat, Nathaniel Tracy, Cotton Tufts, James Warren, Samuel West, Edward Wigglesworth, Joseph Willard, Samuel Williams, Abraham Williams, Nehemiah Williams, and James Winthrop.
