The New York Academy of Sciences (NYAS), originally founded as the Lyceum of Natural History in January 1817, is a prestigious nonprofit professional society that plays a vital role in advancing global scientific research and knowledge. As the fourth-oldest scientific society in the United States, the academy has made significant contributions to the scientific community for over two centuries. Today, it boasts a diverse membership of over 20,000 individuals from 100 countries. NYAS is dedicated to promoting scientific literacy, supporting innovative research, and fostering science-based solutions to pressing global challenges. The academy hosts a wide array of programs and publishes cutting-edge scientific content across various disciplines, including life sciences, physical sciences, and social sciences. Additionally, the academy addresses critical cross-disciplinary topics such as nutrition, artificial intelligence, space exploration, and sustainability. Through these initiatives, the NYAS facilitates the exchange of scientific information among its members, the broader scientific community, the media, and the public. A key focus of the academy is to provide resources and support to researchers at every stage of their careers, from emerging scientists to seasoned professionals. Through its longstanding history and ongoing efforts, the New York Academy of Sciences continues to be a beacon of scientific excellence, promoting innovation and collaboration across the global scientific community. The academy's programs and publications have contributed significantly to scientific discussions and progress over its history, including: in 1876, publishing one of the first studies on environmental pollution;[6] conducting the first-of-its-kind scientific survey and publication The Scientific Survey of Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands, from 1907 to 1934; holding the first conference and publication of key papers on antibiotics in 194546; hosting a conference and publishing key papers on the cardiovascular effects of smoking in 1960, holding a seminal conference on the Prevention of and Protection Against Accidental Explosion of Munitions, Fuels and Other Hazardous Mixtures in 1966, and hosting a conference on the effects of asbestos on human health in 196465; founding the Women in Science Committee in 1977; convening the world's first major scientific conference on AIDS in 19831984; and an early conference on SARS in 2003.
