On January 5, the American Astronomical Society (AAS) announced its 2022 class of AAS Fellows, with the inductees being recognized “for original research and publications, innovative contributions to astronomical techniques or instrumentation, significant contributions to education and public outreach, and noteworthy service to astronomy and to the Society itself”. Among the 23 new AAS Fellows was our own Program Director, Professor Victoria Meadows.
Prof. Meadows was honored “for her pioneering work in developing the field of exoplanet astrobiology, including decades of scientific leadership and service, and an exceptional commitment to training the next generation of astrobiologists.”
