Six Penn State faculty members in areas ranging from neuropharmacology to computer architecture have been elected to the 2023 cohort of fellows of the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS), the world’s largest general scientific society. This year, AAAS recognized a total of 502 scientists, engineers and innovators with this lifetime honor, bestowed by their peers, for their scientifically and socially distinguished achievements.
Fellows were elected in 2023 and will be honored in 2024. They will receive an official certificate and a gold and blue rosette pin via mail to commemorate their election and will be invited to an in-person gathering in Washington, D.C., in September to celebrate the honor.
With over $1 billion in annual research expenditures, Penn State ranks among the top 25 U.S. research universities and is one of only two institutions in the nation accorded land-grant, sea-grant, sun-grant and space-grant status. This year’s fellows represent Penn State College of Medicine, the College of Agricultural Sciences, the College of Engineering and the Eberly College of Science.
