Today, we’re proud to announce that three Mizzou professors have been named 2021 Fellows of the American Association for the Advancement of Sciences (AAAS). This honor is one of the highest recognitions a scientist can receive for a career of discovery and service to society.

MU’s newest AAAS Fellows are:

• Lee-Ann H. Allen, professor and chair of the Department of Molecular Microbiology and Immunology, and the George Trimble Endowed Chair for Excellence in Medicine in the MU School of Medicine
• Susan Renoe, associate vice chancellor for strategic initiatives in the Office of Research and Economic Development, assistant professor of strategic communication in the Missouri School of Journalism, and executive director of the Center for Advancing Research Impact in Society (ARIS), which is housed at MU
• Cheryl S. Rosenfeld, professor of biomedical sciences in the MU College of Veterinary Medicine

While their interests range from the study of bacteria to reproductive biology, what unites each of these researchers is shared determination to create incredible breakthroughs that make the world a better place. Congratulations to them all!
