Is anyone going to confuse those associations with the AAAS?--Adoniscik (talk) 01:29, 11 January 2008 (UTC)
Unless it can be demonstrated that the organization has actually accomplished all the things it purports to do ("promotes cooperation between scientists, defends scientific freedom, encourages scientific responsibility and supports scientific education and science outreach for the betterment of all humanity") then these goals should be listed as just that: goals, not accomplishments. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.177.7.193 (talk) 19:31, 22 November 2008 (UTC)
I agree. There should be a chapter on what they have actually accomplished. —Preceding unsigned comment added by CoincidentalBystander (talk • contribs) 06:17, 13 May 2010 (UTC)
I noticed that the article lists the Parapsychological Association as an affiliate. While true, is it relevant to the article? There are plenty of other affiliates that could be mentioned to illustrate the point, and the affiliation, and criticism thereof, of the Parapsychological Association, is covered in several other articles. If everyone's ok with it, I would like to remove the parapsychological association from the article and replace it with something like the Physical Society. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.68.73.101 (talk) 00:38, 11 July 2009 (UTC)
I don't disagree with you; however, perhaps this just needs to be reworded. I've heard the Parasychological Association's affiliate status mentioned before as if it should be embarrassing to AAAS. Perhaps the point here is to say that an association currently viewed (?) as unscientific is and has been an affiliate. Should this paragraph be rewritten to say that, instead? Otherwise, why mention any particular association? Aphzidos (talk) 21:04, 5 May 2010 (UTC)
Who decides who a noteworthy AAAS president is? There've been at least a few Nobel prize winners recently, who've done some very interesting work (IMO). But... noteworthy? That subject seems like it demands a POV, but I'm not that experienced in how authors decide on this material. At any rate, it seems like this section deserves some review and possibly some additions. Aphzidos (talk) 20:49, 1 July 2010 (UTC)
The Experimental Lakes Area seems to be a Canadian government program with no connection to the AAAS: the only link shown is that an articles has been published about it in Science. There's no indication it belongs in this article, and so I've moved it below and deleted it from the article. . . dave souza, talk 07:44, 2 April 2015 (UTC)
In his 2008 article [1] about the Experimental Lakes Area (ELA), in Kenora District, Ontario, Canada, published in Science, Erik Stokstad described the ELA's "extreme science."[1] The ELA project manipulated whole lake ecosystems for forty years, collecting long-term records for climatology, hydrology, and limnology based on whole-ecosystem experiments that address key issues in water management.[2] The ELA influenced public policy in water management in Canada, the USA and Europe,[1] but by 2008 was attempting to convince federal[which?] funders to focus on climate-change research. The decision to abruptly defund the ELA was widely condemned by the Canadian and international scientific community.[1][3] The scientific journal Nature in an article entitled, The Death of Evidence, described the decision as "disturbing", and said that it "is hard to believe that finance is the true reason" for the closure.[4]

Eurekalert is not a churmalism website, but a paid PR distribution service for universities and research organization. These references and comparision with Phys.org and ScienceDaily must be removed. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 83.54.140.34 (talk) 09:42, 17 July 2017 (UTC)
Categories are these links you find at the bottom of most wikipedia pages and promote interlinking. On this article there's e.g. the categorie "Scientific supraorganizations". Supraorganisations is a term that is new to me. Anybody knows the difference with a Scientific Federation? Also I have the impression there needs to be done some work on the categories. Wouldn't it make sense to make a cateogry Scientific Federations ? Thy for helping out. --SvenAERTS (talk) 15:53, 20 September 2018 (UTC)
There's a mass data set listing all fellows throughout time at Mix 'n' Match here. We're working to make a Wikidata item for each fellow, who can then be easily pulled for Redlinks and a list for the Fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science page as well. Also, all fellows are notable enough for Wikipedia biography standards! If you want to help, feel free. Sbbarker19 (talk) 15:03, 10 May 2019 (UTC)
Should the AAAS's heavy involvement in eugenics and sterilization be included somewhere in this article? I'm tempted to include some information on that. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Dave Earl (talk • contribs) 11:32, 14 March 2020 (UTC)
The article states that the council of the AAAS "has new additions to it from different sections which include many youngsters as well. John Kerry of Chicago is the youngest American in the council and Akhil Ennamsetty of India is the youngest foreign council member."
However, this is not cited, and the official council directory of the AAAS (https://www.aaas.org/governance/council) does not mention either of these individuals. Furthermore, a cursory google search seems to have this page as the only original source stating this fact. CoconutOctopus talk 16:27, 16 April 2021 (UTC)
Hi there, fellow editors! I'm opening this discussion because I came here to learn about the convention of the American Association for the Advancement of Science held in Cambridge Mass., in December, 1922—news about which a New York Times reporter won a Pulitzer Prize. But when I arrived here, I found that the history section was missing literally any modicum of information about the Association from the years 1864–2000. Does anyone know anything about what happened in this time? The article would be significantly benefitted by building out the history of the organization during the 20th century! —Shrinkydinks (talk) 17:55, 3 June 2021 (UTC)
While this organization has done a lot of good, some controversy exists regarding them ( as is the case with almost any long standing, wide-spread group). In particular, the issue of eugenics has been one that has brought the organization into some very divisive political, ethical, and highly publicized debates over the years. Virtually every organization like this has such a section on it, this page needs one. 2603:7080:1A01:977B:B1AB:B1EF:A66E:3898 (talk) 04:45, 7 June 2022 (UTC)
