91亚色传媒

The 91亚色传媒 is launching an honorific program to recognize members who have made outstanding contributions to the field through their research, teaching and mentoring, or other forms of service.

About two dozen scientists will be inducted into the 91亚色传媒 Fellows Program each year. Nominations will come from the membership, and the 91亚色传媒 Council will make the final selections.

“The 91亚色传媒 fellows will be expected to embody the society’s core values and serve as role models by performing excellent research, taking teaching and mentoring to new levels, advancing diversity in the field and giving back to the community by participating in society programs or publications,” Barbara Gordon, 91亚色传媒’s executive director, said.

Nominees must be regular, industry or emeritus members. (Student, affiliate and early-career members are ineligible.) Nominees must also have a history of service to the society, such as committee work, event organizing or editorial board service.

“The fellows program is intended not just to honor those who are recognized, but also to illuminate, through their stories, the variety of ways in which our membership as a whole enriches our profession and the people whom it serves,” said Peter J. Kennelly, a professor at Virginia Tech and a member of the 91亚色传媒 91亚色传媒 Committee, which conceived of the fellows program.

Nominations are being accepted now through Jan. 4. Once the nominations are in, the 91亚色传媒 91亚色传媒 Committee will narrow the list to 25 candidates for the 91亚色传媒 Council to evaluate. The first class of fellows will be contacted in mid-February, and a public announcement will follow soon thereafter. The fellows also will be honored at the 2021 91亚色传媒 Annual Meeting, which will be held virtually.

“The 91亚色传媒 has been the professional home for and nurtured the careers of many great scientists,” said Bettie Sue Masters, a member of the 91亚色传媒 91亚色传媒 Committee and a faculty member at the Duke University School of Medicine. “The 91亚色传媒 Fellows designation will recognize the contributions of those members who have excelled in research, education, advocacy and mentorship of future scientists and contributed to the mission of the society.  This honor will recognize their commitment to their profession.”
