How does it feel to be recognized by the world’s largest multidisciplinary scientific society? “It’s amazing.” “It’s an honor.” “It’s humbling.” All three of the Robert Wood Johnson Medical School faculty members who were named fellows by the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS) believe that the recognition has personal significance— particularly since it is peer-nominated. Terri Goss Kinzy, PhD, professor of biochemistry and molecular biology and pediatrics and vice president for research (right); Peter Lobel, PhD, professor of biochemistry and molecular biology (left); and Monica Roth, PhD, professor of pharmacology (center), have been singled out by AAAS for their efforts to advance science applications that are deemed scientifically or socially distinguished. The journey that led to this distinction for each honoree is unique and filled with remarkable—and in some cases life-changing—discoveries. Robert Wood Johnson I MEDICINE 25
