This year’s AAAS Fellows will be announced in the AAAS News & Notes
section of the journal Science on 26 October 2007.
As part of Chemistry, Jeffrey T. Roberts was elected as
an AAAS Fellow "For distinguished contributions
to surface chemistry, particularly as they relate to complex chemical
transformations on atmospheric cloud particles and on nanoparticle
aerosols."
The tradition of AAAS Fellows began in 1874. Currently, members can
be considered for the rank of Fellow if nominated by the Steering Groups
of the Association's 24 sections, or by any three Fellows who are current
AAAS members (so long as two of the three sponsors are not affiliated
with the nominee's institution), or by the AAAS Chief Executive Officer.
Each Steering Group then reviews the nominations of individuals within
its respective section and a final list is forwarded to the AAAS Council,
which votes on the aggregate list.
The Council is the policymaking body of the Association, chaired by
the AAAS President, and consisting of the members of the Board of Directors,
the Retiring Section Chairs, delegates from each electorate and each
regional division, and two delegates from the National Association
of Academies of Science.
The American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS) is
the world’s largest general scientific society, and publisher
of the journal, Science (www.sciencemag.org). AAAS was founded in
1848, and includes some 262 affiliated societies and academies of science,
serving 10 million individuals. Science has the largest paid
circulation of any peer-reviewed general science journal in the world,
with an estimated total readership of 1 million. The non-profit AAAS
(www.aaas.org) is open to all and
fulfills its mission to “advance science and serve society”
through initiatives in science policy; international programs; science
education; and more. For the latest research news, log onto EurekAlert!, www.eurekalert.org, the premier science-news
