Dornsife have been elected fellows of the 2012 American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS).<\/p>\n<p>AAAS is the world&rsquo;s largest general scientific society and the publisher of the journal <em>Science<\/em>, which has a readership of 1 million. Founded in 1848, the non-profit organization is dedicated to advancing science around the world by serving as an educator, leader, spokesperson and professional association.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;I am delighted that so many of our faculty have been recognized by their peers and elected as AAAS fellows,&rdquo; said Elizabeth Garrett, USC provost and senior vice president for academic affairs. &ldquo;This honor affirms the rich diversity and strengths of the scientific research that our faculty engage in on a daily basis and their commitment to create scholarship of consequence.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>USC Dornsife Dean Steve Kay, an AAAS fellow himself, said the AAAS peer acknowledgement of so many USC Dornsife scientists indicates both the accomplishments and promise of faculty.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;The innovative research of our scientists coupled with their collaborations with scientists in various fields across campus put our team in an ideal position to solve the many complexities associated with major problems human beings face today,&rdquo; Kay said. &ldquo;Our new AAAS fellows can help make this great campus a preeminent destination for emerging themes in science and technology.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>Fellows are selected from among the society&rsquo;s membership through nomination by a steering group within the association, or by three fellows who are currently AAAS members, or by the AAAS chief executive officer.<\/p>\n<p>This year, 702 AAAS members globally will be made fellows. In all, 15 honorees came from USC &mdash; two from the USC Viterbi School of Engineering. Some of the USC Dornsife honorees hold joint appointments at USC Viterbi, the Keck School of Medicine of USC and the USC Davis School of Gerontology.<\/p>\n<p>USC Dornsife winners include:<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/migration-uploads\/arnheim150-1297.jpg\" alt=\"\"><\/p>\n<p><strong>Norman Arnheim <\/strong>is a Distinguished Professor of Biological Sciences, Molecular Biology and Biochemistry, who has joint appointments in USC Dornsife and Keck School of Medicine of USC.
