CISS Faculty Affiliate Alice Cronin-Golomb Elected an AAAS Fellow
Boston University’s Alice Cronin-Golomb seeks to fortify humanity against identity- and autonomy-robbing diseases of aging. The College of Arts & Sciences professor says she probes “the relation between the brain and psychological functions in healthy aging and in age-related neurodegenerative disease, especially Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s.”
Her contributions to her field have put her in august company, as a newly minted fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS), the world’s largest scientific society. She’s one of two new BU fellows, along with Plamen Ch. Ivanov, a CAS research professor of physics. AAAS fellows, selected since 1874, receive the title for life; previous inductees have included Thomas Edison and W.E.B. Du Bois.
