Election as an AAAS Fellow is an honor bestowed upon AAAS members by their peers, which recognizes individual contributions to innovation, education, and scienti­fic leadership. To be elected requires continuous membership in AAAS for at least 4 years and nomination by the steering group of the Association’s 24 sections, by any 3 Fellows who are current AAAS members, or by the AAAS chief executive officer.
