AAAS first launched this lifetime recognition in 1874, about 25 years after the association was founded. Last year, the AAAS Fellows program celebrated its 150th anniversary at a reception at the National Building Museum in Washington DC. To commemorate the occasion, Fellows from across the span of sciences shared stories of their scientific journeys and what being a Fellow means to them in an anniversary video and special compendium of stories.
