Washington, DC – The American Association for the Advancement of Science, one of the largest general scientific societies in the world and publisher of the Science Family of journals, announces the 2024 class of AAAS scholarship holders, a distinguished honor for life in the scientific community. The latter class is made up of 471 scientists, engineers and innovators in 24 AAAS disciplinary sections. See The 2024 class of scholarship holders.
“This year’s scholarship classier embodies excellence and scientific service to our communities,” said Sudip S. Parikh, Ph.D., Director General of AAAS and Executive Editor of the Science Family of journals. “At a time when the future of the scientific company in the United States and in the world is uncertain, their work demonstrates the value of the investment supported in science and engineering.”
Stock markets are a distinguished framework recognized for their achievements between disciplines, research, teaching and technology to administration in the academic world, industry and government to excellence in communication and interpretation of sciences to the public. Examples include:
- Provide leadership in biotechnology entrepreneurship, in particular mRNA therapies such as the COVVI-19 vaccine and promote the development of scientific businesses
- Contribute to global public health through work on hormonal kidney regulations and leadership provision for American health policy
- Generate the development of seminal technological progress in software and hardware and ensure key leadership on digital and cyber-political policy
- Improve our understanding of the diversity and evolution of the genome of wheat, by finding new genes for the improvement of wheat and the fight against pathogen of the rush to wheat
- Make important contributions to research on planetary sciences and explore the origins of water on earth
- Modeling of air pollution impacts on human health and assessing the costs and benefits of pollution policies
- Discover the basic “gears” of the Circadian clock of the body and how they are linked to models of sleep and awakening and neurodegenerative disease
- Develop the synthetic chemistry of nanocrystal quantum points and their applications in clean energy technologies
- Cultivate partnerships and communities through the National Association of Biology Teachers to develop and promote best practices in teaching life sciences
- Contribution of the development of “organ-sur-chip” engineering to study the effects of chemicals on human tissues and organs
- Monitor global water resources and improve our understanding of hydrology in relation to extreme events such as floods, droughts, thaw of permafrost, landslides and forest fires
- Provide a scholarship on the history and ethics of genetic, influence and war technology issues
- Increased scientific understanding of deaf languages and encouraging deaf researchers and sign communities from language to greater participation in science
- Link of age -related changes in cardiovascular function to speed up brain aging, Alzheimer’s disease and other neurodegenerative diseases
The AAAS launched this recognition for life in 1874, around 25 years after the association’s foundation. Last year, the Aaas Fellows program celebrated its 150th birthday At a reception at the National Building Museum in Washington. DC to commemorate the opportunity, scholarship holders of all the duration of the sciences shared stories of their scientific journeys and what being a comrade means for them in a Birthday video and special Compendium of stories.
The class 2024 joined the ranks of rated scholarship holders such as Alondra Nelson, Professor Harold F. Linder at the Institute of Advanced Study and former deputy deputy assistant of President Joe Biden and acting director of the Bureau of the White House Sciences and Sciences policy; Mae Jemison, the first black woman to go to space; Steven CHU, winner of the 1997 Nobel Prize in physics who was the 12th American Energy Secretary; Ellen Ochoa, a veteran astronaut and first Hispanic director and second director of the Johnson Space Center in her history; Grace Hopper, pioneer in the development of computer software and programming language; And came deer, which designed TCP / IP protocols and internet architecture and received the American presidential medal of freedom.
The new scholarship holders will receive a certificate and a pink of Rosette in gold and blue (representing science and engineering, respectively) to commemorate their elections and will be celebrated during a forum in Washington, DC on June 7, 2025. The price of the 2024 stock markets will also be presented in the AAAS News & Notes section of the newspaper of the newspaper Science in March 2025.
AAAS members can be taken into account for the rank of scholarship holders if it is appointed by the piloting committees of the 24 sections of the association through scientific and engineering disciplines, by three scholarship holders who are current of AAAS members, or by the CEO of AAAS. The scholarship holders had to be continuous members of the AAAS for four years at the end of the calendar year during which they are elected.
