Incoming AAAS Leshner Fellows Focus on Human Augmentation
The American Association for the Advancement of Science has selected 10 researchers in the area of human augmentation as the 2019-2020 AAAS Alan I. Leshner Leadership Institute Public Engagement Fellows. These scientists and engineers were chosen for having demonstrated leadership and excellence in their research careers and an interest in promoting meaningful dialogue between science and society. ... Jin Montclare, professor of chemical and biomolecular engineering at New York University [Tandon School of Engineering], intends to use the fellowship to learn more about how policy decisions are made for research, so that she can help educate the next generation of entrepreneurs.
