ASPB Members Elected 2007 Fellows of AAAS

Sixteen members of ASPB have been elected to the 2007 class of Fellows of the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS). This distinction for significant contributions to science and technology is determined by peer nomination. The Fellows Forum held during AAAS’s annual meeting in Boston on February 16, 2008, will recognize all 471 new Fellows elected for 2007. The Fellows each will receive a certificate and a blue and gold rosette symbolic of their notable achievements. Congratulations to the 2007 AAAS Fellows from ASPB!
