Dr. Eli Puterman elected to the Royal Society of Canada

October 16, 2023

School of Kinesiology Associate Professor, Dr. Eli Puterman, is among ten UBC faculty members who have been named by the Royal Society of Canada (RSC) as new Fellows and new Members of the RSC College of New Scholars, Artists and Scientists for 2023.

Dr. Puterman was announced by the RSC as a Member of the College of New Scholars, Artists and Scientists. The College is the first of its kind in Canada, providing a system of multidisciplinary recognition for the emerging generation of Canadian intellectual leadership.

“It is an honour to be nominated to the RSC College and to be included in a cohort of experts seeking to advance an improved vision of Canada that resonates across so many fields of scientific and artistic explorations,” says Dr. Puterman. “I look forward to meeting many other Canadian leaders seeking to support the health and wellbeing of people across the country.”

Dr. Puterman will be welcomed to the 2023 class of new Members of the RSC College at the RSC Celebration of Excellence and Engagement ceremony in November.
