We are pleased to share that Ann Bostrom, Weyerhaeuser Endowed Professor in Environmental Policy, was elected to the board of directors of the American Association for the Advancement of Science.
Few organizations, if any, have situated themselves as well as AAAS to promote science as an endeavor of relevance and interest for all, and to advance the unique role of science as an unequaled source of information and innovation. As an elected member of the Board, I look forward to championing these efforts to democratize and advance science.
Ann Bostrom
