Kansas Academy of Science

The Kansas Academy of Science was established in 1868 to support science and science education in the state of Kansas. Membership in the Academy is open to any one who wishes to join. The Academy is a member of the National Association of Academies of Science, and is affiliated with the American Association for the Advancement of Science and the U. S. National Academy of Science. The mission of the Academy is twofold: 1) To encourage education in the sciences and disseminate scientific information through the facilities of the Academy, and 2) To achieve closer cooperation and understanding between scientists and non-scientists, so that they may work together in a common cause of furthering science
