The AAAS Celebrates Its 150th

摘要

This year we are celebrating the 150th birthday of the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS), which has become the preeminent professional society worldwide in interdisciplinary sciences, technology, and public policy. It was my honor to have been president of the AAAS during this special year of the 150th birthday celebration. Here I take the opportunity to present a few vignettes on the venerable history of the AAAS and their influence on the association today.
