Former Livermore head Tartar selected AAAS fellow

Former Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory Director Bruce Tarter has been elected to the rank of Fellow of the American Association of the Advancement of Science.

Tarter was honored for his "distinguished leadership of Livermore in transforming the science base for post-Cold War national security and for sustained contributions to national science policy," according to the award citation.

Tarter will officially receive his award, a certificate and rosette, in February at the annual AAAS gathering in Seattle.

"I am honored to be named a fellow of AAAS," Tarter said. "However, this award is really one that goes to all of the people in the laboratory who worked so hard and effectively to create the Stockpile Stewardship Program."

Tarter was Livermore director from 1994 to 2002.
