Fellow of the American Mathematical Society (2019)
This fellowship year is off by one. Michael Harris’s own Columbia CV and his Academia Europaea profile list him as a Fellow of the American Mathematical Society beginning in 2018, not 2019.
Full reasoning
Michael Harris’s official Columbia University CV lists “2018– Fellow, American Mathematical Society.” His Academia Europaea member profile likewise lists “2018 Fellow of the American Mathematical Society.”
So the article’s year 2019 is incorrect for this honor; the available primary biographical sources from Harris himself and from Academia Europaea both give 2018.

He was a member of the Institute for Advanced Study from 1983 to 1984 and in the fall of 2011.
The 2011 IAS visit was in spring, not fall. Harris’s official Columbia CV and Academia Europaea profile both list his 2011 Institute for Advanced Study appointment as spring 2011.
Full reasoning
The article gets the season of Harris’s 2011 Institute for Advanced Study appointment wrong.
Harris’s official Columbia CV lists his IAS visiting position as “2011 (spring) Member, Institute for Advanced Study.” His Academia Europaea profile likewise says “2011 (spring semester) Member, Institute for Advanced Study.”
That directly contradicts the article’s statement that he was there “in the fall of 2011.”
