University of Florida College of Journalism and Communications (UFCJC) Journalism affiliate faculty member Czerne Reid was elected to the American Association for the Advancement of Science 2023 class of Lifetime Fellows.

The Fellows program, which includes alumni such as Thomas Edison and W.E.B. DuBois, is among the most distinctive in academia and recognizes extraordinary impact and achievement across disciplines, from research, teaching and technology, to administration in academia, industry and government, to excellence in communicating and interpreting science to the public. In 2023, 19 UF faculty were selected, the highest number ever chosen in a single year.

Reid is also a senior lecturer and program director in the UF College of Medicine’s Department of Psychiatry. She was cited by AAAS for “distinguished contributions to the communication of science, especially through sustained leadership of programs to develop future generations of science writers.” As co-chair of the education committee of the National Association of Science Writers, she co-coordinates a stable of mentoring and career development programs that have helped hundreds of science and journalism students from across the U.S and around the world find their footing in science communication.
