membership in associations requiring outstanding achievements
AAO 为什么未被说服

original contributions of major significance in the field
AAO 为什么未被说服

Letters from experts were too vague or conclusory and did not detail how the petitioner's work impacted the field as a whole. Workshop reception, inspiration of individual colleagues, and social media presence do not demonstrate major significance.
