The American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS) has bestowed upon 416 of its members the lifetime honor of being an elected Fellow in recognition of their achievements in advancing science, some of whom are involved in oncology. The Fellows will be recognized at the 2019 AAAS Annual Meeting in Washington, DC, during a Fellows Forum in February. This year’s Fellows, who represent a broad swath of scientific disciplines, were selected for accomplishments that include pioneering research, leadership within their field, teaching and mentoring, fostering collaborations, and advancing public understanding of science.
