Six University of Wisconsin–Madison scholars have been elected fellows of the American Association for the Advancement of Science, the world’s largest general scientific society.
This year, 506 scientists, engineers and innovators were chosen from the AAAS membership to be AAAS Fellows. The honor, presented annually since 1874, recognizes efforts to advance science and society, with the fellows expected to maintain the highest standards of scientific integrity and professional ethics.
“AAAS is proud to elevate these standout individuals and recognize the many ways in which they’ve advanced scientific excellence, tackled complex societal challenges and pushed boundaries that will reap benefits for years to come,” said Sudip S. Parikh, AAAS chief executive officer.
The class will be featured in the February issue of the journal Science. Each new fellow will be celebrated this summer at an event in Washington, D.C.
