Description
I founded the Society for Amateur Scientists in 1994 to help ordinary people with a passion for science to take part in scientific adventures of all kinds. We educate, stimulate, and facilitate everyday people, often folks without any formal education in science as well as youngsters, to follow their interests in science as far as their time, talents and interest will take them. If you'd like to be part of a family of discoverers, then you've found your home. Your interest is the only entry card you'll ever need. Just present it at our door, and come on in.
SAS’s bi-weekly newsletter, The Citizen Scientist, is full of how-to science tips and is edited by Forrest Mims III, a world-class citizen scientist, science writer and electronics pioneer. We have an extensive archive of how-to articles online. We also offer discounts on many of the necessary materials of science, and, oftentimes, expert assistance and advice on your own research projects. We also offer you something that is very hard for most citizen scientists to find-- fellowship with like-minded people. By attending our annual conferences (our last conference was in Las Vegas, Nevada) you'll get to rub shoulders with some of the most outstanding citizen scientists from all over the world. You will be astonished by the range of research that citizen scientists are now doing, as well as by their talent, dedication and unrestrained passion for their work.
Our society spent its first decade struggling to support amateur scientists of all ages in all fields of science. We've overcome overwhelming odds just to still be here. As we move into our second decade, we have committed ourselves to expanding our services to adults while, at the same time, revolutionizing how science is taught to young people in the United States.
