Eleven University of Michigan faculty members are among 532 newly elected Fellows of the American Association for the Advancement of Science.
The tradition began in 1874, with fellows elected by peer AAAS members chosen because of their scientifically or socially distinguished efforts to advance science or its applications.
New fellows will be presented with an official certificate and a gold and blue (representing science and engineering, respectively) rosette pin Feb. 20 at the AAAS Fellows Forum during the 2010 AAAS Annual Meeting in San Diego.
This year’s fellows will be announced in the AAAS News & Notes section of the journal Science Dec. 18.
