The American Association for the Advancement of Science, one of the world’s largest general scientific societies and publisher of the Science family of journals, named Filippo Menczer to its 2024 fellows’ class, a lifetime honor within the scientific community.

Menczer is among 471 scientists, engineers and innovators who have been elected for their scientifically and socially distinguished achievements throughout their careers. Menczer was cited by the AAAS "for seminal contributions to web and data science, network science, computational social science, social media analytics, science of science, and modeling of complex information systems."

“This year’s class of Fellows are the embodiment of scientific excellence and service to our communities,” said Sudip S. Parikh, Ph.D., AAAS chief executive officer and executive publisher of the Science family of journals. “At a time when the future of the scientific enterprise in the U.S. and around the world is uncertain, their work demonstrates the value of sustained investment in science and engineering.”
