缅北强奸 faculty honoured by American Association for the Advancement of Science

Both theoretical research and commercial innovation recognized

Ten University of Toronto researchers have been elected Fellows of the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS), the world鈥檚 largest science society and publisher of the prestigious journal, Science.

The association was founded in 1848 and the tradition of AAAS Fellows began in 1874. Fellows are nominated from among the association鈥檚  membership 鈥 it includes 262 affiliated societies and academies of science worldwide -- and approved by the AAAS Council. Fellowship is a prestigious honour, granted for meritorious efforts to advance science or its applications. The council elected 539 fellows this year.

鈥淭he outstanding 缅北强奸 researchers selected as fellows of AAAS exemplify the breadth and depth of the research done at our institution,鈥 said President David Naylor. 鈥淭heir work ranges from highly theoretical to intensely applied, and all valuable contributions to our world. I congratulate these distinguished colleagues on behalf of the entire university community.鈥
