D. Anthony Martin (University of California, Los Angeles)
Peter Railton (University of Michigan, Ann Arbor)

Nice to see two of the ten I had singled out a few weeks ago as deserving election made it this year–and all the choices this year are obviously highly meritorious.

UPDATE: Several folks have e-mailed wondering which departments have the most elected members. Bearing in mind my earlier cautionary notes on this subject (about why AAAS membership is a weak indicator of program quality), and my observations, above, here are the departments with the most non-retired AAAS members (based on the 2004-05 faculty composition). I’ve marked with an * those faculty over 70. The ranking of the top 15 is very rough, based on some discounting for part-time faculty.
