FAQs

What is AAAS?

AAAS is short for the American Association for the Advancement of Science. But don't let our American roots fool you—we connect over 100,000 scientists and science enthusiasts around the globe. As one of the world's largest multidisciplinary scientific societies, we stand up for science, evidence-based policies, the reality of climate change, and publish cutting-edge research in our Science family of journals.

What is the difference between the Elemental Tier and the other Tiers?

The Elemental Tier is your first step to joining a community that is dedicated to advancing science for the benefit of society.

The Supporting, Silver, Gold, and Platinum memberships increase your support of science and include exclusive access to Science content and more.

What is included with my AAAS Membership?

Your membership strengthens AAAS' efforts to speak up for science and comes with unique benefits.
