The Royal Society is our academy of sciences. If you are appointed "FRS" (Fellow of the Royal Society), then it's game over - you can relax, because you've won the game. There is no accolade higher for British scientists. The first presidents include Newton and Hooke.
Naturally, I am not a FRS, being a young whippersnapper. However, I found myself there, attending a meeting to discuss Bayesian inference in the physical sciences. Great minds spoke, I listened. Maybe a question or two.
Then, I tried to use the facilities. You know something's wrong when you cannot even successfully operate the taps in the gents.

I could hear Newton chuckling.
