He is also included on the 2018 List of Highly Cited Researchers from Clarivate Analytics.
"Both of these honors mean a lot to me. It is humbling to be elected as an AAAS Fellow and to be included in the Highly Cited Researchers list. I am deeply grateful to the colleagues who supported my nomination for the AAAS Fellowship, and gratified to think that some of my work may have been useful to other scientists,” said Hibbett.
Hibbett is the seventh Clark faculty member to be named an AAAS Fellow since 1958; the last Clark scholar to receive this honor was Provost and Vice President for Academic Affairs Davis Baird in 2010.
