The world\u2019s largest scientific society and publisher of the Science<\/em> family of journals has selected a University of Hawaiʻi<\/span> at M\u0101noa faculty member to its latest class of fellows. School of Life Sciences<\/a> Professor David Duffy<\/strong> was recognized for scientific excellence as part of the American Association for the Advancement of Science<\/a> (AAAS<\/abbr>) 2022 class of fellows.<\/p>\n

The new recipients will receive a certificate and a gold and blue rosette pin (representing science and engineering) to commemorate their election and will be celebrated in Washington, D.C., in summer 2023. Election as an AAAS<\/abbr> Fellow is a lifetime honor.<\/p>\n

“It is humbling to share an honor with such distinguished scientists, one previously awarded to two other ÌÇÐÄVlog¹Ù·½<\/abbr> botanists, Izzy Abbott<\/strong> and Dieter Mueller-Dombois<\/strong>,” Duffy said.<\/p>\n

Duffy\u2019s diverse research interests vary by ecosystem and organism. His focus is on how natural environments respond to perturbations (disturbance of a system), either natural or man-made, at scales ranging from the individual through the landscape. His work has included the effect of El Niño on seabirds in Peru, as well as fishery interactions with seabirds in Peru, South Africa, the Galápagos Islands and Hawaiʻi<\/span>. Duffy was the principal investigator of a project on avian malaria, examining whether new approaches to science might yield answers to the biggest threat to the islands\u2019 endangered forest birds.<\/p>\n

In 2019, Duffy was awarded the Pacific Seabird Group\u2019s Lifetime Achievement Award<\/a> for his contributions to seabird management and conservation science.<\/p>\n

More about AAAS<\/abbr> Fellows<\/h2>\n

AAAS<\/abbr> members can be considered for the rank of fellow if nominated by the steering groups of the association\u2019s 24 sections across scientific and engineering disciplines, by three fellows who are current AAAS<\/abbr> members, or by the chief executive officer (CEO<\/abbr>) of AAAS<\/abbr>. Fellows must have been continuous members of AAAS<\/abbr> for four years.<\/p>\n

“AAAS<\/abbr> is proud to elevate these standout individuals and recognize the many ways in which they\u2019ve advanced scientific excellence, tackled complex societal challenges and pushed boundaries that will reap benefits for years to come,” said Sudip S. Parikh, AAAS<\/abbr> CEO<\/abbr> and executive publisher of the Science<\/em> family of journals.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
