Twenty-three members of the American Society of Plant Biologists (ASPB) community were elected to the 2018 class of AAAS Fellows. Each year, the AAAS Council elects fellows based on their contributions to science and technology in the areas of research; teaching; technology; services to professional societies; administration in academe, industry, and government; and communicating and interpreting science to the public. Fellows are recognized from within the AAAS membership for their “efforts on behalf of the advancement of science or its applications are scientifically or socially distinguished.”
New fellows will be honored with a certificate and a blue and gold rosette to symbolize their distinguished achievements at the 2019 AAAS Annual Meeting.
