Bill Currie was elected in 2019 as an AAAS Fellow. AAAS Fellows are elected by their peers for their “scientifically or socially distinguished efforts to advance science or its applications.” Currie was elected for “advancing society’s understanding of ecosystem function through advanced modeling, particularly nutrient cycling and carbon balance in forests and wetlands and their responses to human-driven change.”

The University of Michigan had 22 Fellows elected in 2019, more than any other single university, according to AAAS. See the UM news article here: https://news.umich.edu/22-u-m-scientists-engineers-named-2019-aaas-fellows/
