Philosophers Among New Class of AAAS Fellows
The American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS) has announced its new class of fellows, and a couple of philosophers are among them.
Most of the 502 newly named fellows are scientists and engineers, but there are also a small number of researchers in the humanities and social sciences.
The philosophers listed are:
- Kevin Elliott, Michigan State University
- Laura Ruetsche, University of Michigan
The AAAS fellowships are “a distinguished lifetime honor within the scientific community.” According to the AAAS, “the new Fellows will receive a certificate and a gold and blue rosette pin (representing science and engineering, respectively) to commemorate their election and will be celebrated at a forum on September 21, 2024” in Washington, DC.
The complete list of fellows is here.
