Judy Illes elected to American Association for the Advancement of Science

By Patricia Gray | November 29, 2012

Judy Illes, Professor of Neurology in the Department of Medicine, has been named a Fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS).

As part of the Section on Neuroscience, Dr. Illes was elected as an AAAS Fellow for her pioneering and distinguished leadership in neuroethics — an interdisciplinary field dedicated to the ethical, legal, social and policy implications of advances in neuroscience.

Dr. Illes is the Canada Research Chair in Neuroethics and Director of the National Core for Neuroethics at UBC. She also holds affiliate appointments in the School of Population and Public Health and the School of Journalism at UBC, and in the Department of Computer Science and Engineering at the University of Washington in Seattle.

In addition to her research in neuroethics, Dr. Illes leads a robust program of research and outreach devoted to improving the literacy of neuroscience and engaging stakeholders on a global scale.

The AAAS is the world’s largest general scientific society, and publisher of the journal Science as well as Science Translational Medicine and Science Signaling. AAAS Fellows are elected by their peers in recognition of scientifically or socially distinguished efforts to advance science or its applications.
