This October, three Rausser College faculty will join the California Academy of Sciences’ Fellows. Nominated by peers and elected by the Academy’s Board of Trustees, the Academy Fellows are chosen for their notable contributions to the natural sciences and science communication. The fellows aid the Academy in public engagement, education, and collaborative research efforts.

Damian Elias, a professor in ESPM, is best known for his research on spider physiology and behavior. A faculty scientist at the Berkeley Lab and an associate professor in the Energy and Resources Group, Lara Kueppers researches ecological responses and feedbacks to climate change.
