The American Association for the Advancement of Science elects 486 members as Fellows …

… and I am one of them.

Each year the AAAS Council elects members whose “efforts on behalf of the advancement of science or its applications are scientifically or socially distinguished.” It means a lot to me to be recognized by my peers for my work, which is certainly not the traditional scientific career.

I am “being honored for distinguished service toward a sustainable energy future and for persuasive discourse on why citizens, corporations, and governments should adopt sustainable technologies.”

And what forum is better for persuasive discourse than a blog?

All new Fellows are listed in the current issue of Science (subs. req’d).
