Welcome to Florida Academy of Sciences
The Florida Academy of Sciences, Inc. was founded in 1936 as a non-profit organization. The Academy is the Florida Affiliate of the American Association for the Advancement of Science and is the only organization in Florida that represents all disciplines of sciences.
The Florida Academy of Sciences, Inc. sponsors the Florida Junior Academy of Science to encourage young scientists, publishes the peer-reviewed journal Florida Scientist, a quarterly journal distributed to its members and libraries world wide, and sponsors an Annual Meeting to give members opportunity to present papers, honor their peers, and participate in multidisciplinary scientific exchanges.
