== Revocation for harassment == Starting 15 October 2018, the status of a Fellow can be revoked "in cases of proven scientific misconduct, serious breaches of professional ethics, or when the Fellow in the view of the AAAS otherwise no longer merits the status of Fellow".<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.aaas.org/programs/fellows/revocation-process|title=Revocation Process|website=American Association for the Advancement of Science|language=en|access-date=2019-01-14}}</ref> This is to limit the effects and tolerance of sexual harassment, which Margaret Hamburg, the president of the AAAS said "has no place in science".<ref>{{Cite journal|last1=Chu|first1=Steven|last2=Hockfield|first2=Susan|last3=Hamburg|first3=Margaret|date=2018-09-21|title=Address harassment now|journal=Science|language=en|volume=361|issue=6408|pages=1167|doi=10.1126/science.aav4171|issn=0036-8075|pmid=30237328|doi-access=free|bibcode=2018Sci...361.1167H }}</ref><ref name=":0">{{Cite journal|last=Wadman|first=Meredith|date=2018-09-21|title=AAAS adopts new policy for ejecting harassers|journal=Science|language=en|volume=361|issue=6408|pages=1175|doi=10.1126/science.361.6408.1175|issn=0036-8075|pmid=30237333|bibcode=2018Sci...361.1175W }}</ref>
