Kevin Padian, the president of NCSE's board of directors, was elected as a Fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science in October 2007 "for distinguished contributions to the study of the vertebrate evolutionary adaptations and especially for his leadership in science education," according to an October 26, 2007 press release from the University of California, Berkeley. Padian is Professor of Integrative Biology at the University of California, Berkeley, and Curator at the University of California Museum of Paleontology. He testified for the plaintiffs in Kitzmiller v.
