【组织简介】 The American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS, pronounced "Triple-A-S") is the world's largest general science organization and publisher of the peer-reviewed journal Science. With more than 138,000 members and 275 affiliated societies, AAAS serves as an authoritative source for information on the latest developments in science and bridges gaps among scientists, policy-makers and the public to advance science and science education.
Founded in Philadelphia in 1848, AAAS is among the oldest societies in America. Many of today's most prestigious and influential scientific societies have their historical origins in AAAS. Anyone may join AAAS simply by paying membership dues. A membership guarantees a subscription to Science.
A staff of nearly 300 people, headquartered in Washington, D.C., handles AAAS's day-to-day activities, including the editing and production of the journal Science.
