The Pioneers of Science: Unveiling the 2023 Fellows of the American Association for the Advancement of Science

Five distinguished researchers from the University of California San Diego have been elected as 2023 Fellows of the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS), one of the world’s largest general scientific organizations. The new class of AAAS Fellows includes Professors Peter Ebenfelt, Robert Heath, Natalia Komarova, Dean Kit Pogliano, and Wei Xiong, who have all made significant contributions to their respective fields.

This year’s class of AAAS Fellows represents scientific excellence and embodies a commitment to fostering trust in science within their communities. They lead by example and inspire the next generation of scientists while advancing scientific achievements through their research. The AAAS Fellows program, now in its 150th year, will celebrate this new class and its anniversary milestone at a forum in September.
