About the Idaho Academy of Science

The Idaho Academy of Science (IAS) was organized in 1958 to further the cause of science and science education in Idaho. The IAS seeks to improve the effectiveness of science education in Idaho, and to promote public understanding and appreciation of the sciences and applied technology in the modern world. It is the only statewide organization in Idaho, which embraces all scientific disciplines. The IAS has provided and remains available for consultative or advisory services on matters of science and technology to the Governor, and to Local, State and Federal Agencies.

Chartered activities of the Academy are to:

• Stimulate scientific education and research
• Promote collegial relationships among those engaged in scientific work
• Assist in the development and promotion of the scientific resources of the State of Idaho
• Unify the scientific interests of the State
• Publish reports of scientific studies and applications

The Idaho Academy of Science is an affiliate of the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS) and the National Association of Academies of Science (NAAS). Similarly, many science and engineering professional and technical societies in the State of Idaho are affiliates with the IAS.
