17, 2003 Congratulations to Dr. Kathleen Gibson, recognized by the AAAS |
||||||||||
| Dr.
Kathleen Gibson, professor, Neurology and Anatomy, and the
UT Dental Branch at Houston Department of Orthodontics, has been recognized
by her peers, who have elected her as fellow on the Anthropology Section
of the American Association for the Advancement of Science, citing
her “distinguished contributions pertaining to evolution of
the brain and cognition and to the field of developmental neurobiology
in higher primates.” “It is deeply gratifying to be recognized by the AAAS, which I view as our nation’s premier scientific society in terms of its recognition and dissemination of research findings across the breadth of the entire scientific spectrum,” Gibson said. “It’s a great honor to be elected an AAAS fellow and well deserved for Dr. Gibson, who is a very distinguished figure in the field of brain evolution,” said John H. Byrne, Ph.D., chairman of the Department of Neurobiology and Anatomy. Gibson is the
fifth member of the current health science center faculty to be
elected an AAAS fellow. Her research centers on a basic, if complex
and difficult, question: What is the nature of the human mind and
how did it evolve? |
