Broadening the Reach of Science

We're working to increase public understanding and appreciation of science and technology worldwide.

• AAAS and its journal, Science, reach nearly 140,000 members and subscribers around the globe.
• AAAS activities, from fostering scientific cooperation to promoting human rights and improving science education, touch all corners of the world.
• A new ongoing series of promotions emphasizes the importance of science in everyday life. Last month, we launched radio sponsorships on the U.S. National Public Radio (NPR) network. We hung the first set of public service billboard banners, shown above.
• This public outreach effort will grow with future endeavors. Join us in discovering the science around us. Together, we can reach for the stars.
