Evolutionary Geneticist Elected to American Academy of Arts and Sciences
Graham Coop, professor of evolution and ecology and director of the Center for Population Biology, has been elected to the American Academy of Arts and Sciences for his exceptional contribution to his field. Coop is one of nearly 250 new members announced by the academy on April 23. He joins 36 other current and former UC Davis faculty as academy members.
Coop is a renowned evolutionary geneticist who has received wide recognition from UC Davis and beyond. At UC Davis, Coop received a 2014 College of Biology Research Prize, was a Chancellor’s Fellow from 2015-19, and received a 2019 Graduate and Postdoctoral Mentorship Award.
“Science is a team effort,” said Coop. “This recognition is a credit to everyone who’s worked in our lab over the years, and I'm so pleased on their behalf.”
