Congratulations to South Dakota State University Professor Charles B. Fenster of the Department of Biology and Microbiology, who just became the president of the American Institute of Biological Sciences!
Based on his experiences at SDSU, Fenster hopes to “bring attention to particular issues and challenges that face the Northern Great Plains, in particular, those related to food security, human health, and maintenance of biological diversity.”
AIBS was founded in 1947 as part of the National Academy of Science and became an independent, member-governed organization in the 1950s. The organization, based in McLean, VA, has more than 100 member organizations and represents 150,000 to 200,000 scientists nationwide.
