AAAS
American Association for the Advancement of
Science. The American Association
for the Advancement of Science ... is a nonprofit professional
society dedicated to the advancement of scientific and technological
excellence across all disciplines, and to the public's understanding
of science and technology. AAAS is among the oldest societies
in America, having been founded in Philadelphia in 1848.
ACS
The American Chemical Society. The ACS
is a self governed individual membership organization that consists
of nearly 159,000 members—60% from industry, at all degree levels.
This provides ample opportunity for peer interaction, regardless
of your professional or scientific interests. There are 34 ACS
divisions, representing a wide range of disciplines for chemists,
chemical engineers and technicians.
ASM
The American Society for Microbiology.
The American Society for Microbiology is the oldest and largest
single life science membership organization in the world.
Membership has grown from 59 scientists in 1899 to over 42,000
members today located throughout the world. ASM represents 25
disciplines of microbiological specialization plus a division
for microbiology educators.
ASCB The American Society for Cell Biology. The Society's purpose is to promote and develop the field of cell biology. The ASCB strives to ensure the future of basic scientific research by providing training and development opportunities for students and young investigators, and also by keeping Congress and the American public informed about the importance of biomedical research. Since its founding, the ASCB has grown to more than 11,000 members. Members are located throughout the United States and in 50 other countries.
SFN The Society for Neuroscience is a nonprofit membership organization of basic scientists and
physicians who study the brain and nervous system. It publishes
Brainfacts,
an introduction to the brain and nervous system, and BrainBackgrounders,
an interactive learning tool to understand the brain.
FASEB
Federation of American Societies for Experimental Biology.
Founded in 1912 by three societies, FASEB has consistently provided
educational meetings and publications to disseminate biological
research results. The then six Member Societies
met in 1989 to alter its focus and to reaffirm its mission.
Includes Biophysics, Physiology, Nutrition,
Immunology, Cell Biology, and Protein Biochemistry.
FEBS
Federation of European Biochemical Societies. Founded on
1st January 1964, it is a Federation of the Societies of Biochemistry
and Molecular Biology in 33 countries in the European area.
ISSS
The International Society for the Systems
Science studies processes that go across disciplinary lines
in its search for systems methods and systems analogies. Each
analogy is based on formal, verifiable similarities simultaneously
valid for the many unique systems despite their widely differing
scales of magnitude and complexity. |
