Founded in 1887, the APS is one of the world's oldest and most prestigious physiological organizations, with a membership of over 10,000 physiologists.
History[edit]
The APS was established on December 30, 1887, by 28 physiologists who were attending the American Association for the Advancement of Science's annual meeting in New York City. The founding members aimed to create a platform for the exchange of ideas and research findings in the field of physiology.
Mission[edit]
The mission of the APS is to promote the increase of physiological knowledge, its dissemination to the general public, and its utilization to improve health and treat disease. The society achieves this through its commitment to research, education, and professional development.
Activities[edit]
The APS organizes annual meetings, publishes scientific journals, and provides resources for educators and students. It also advocates for physiological research funding and policies at the federal level.
Meetings[edit]
The APS hosts several scientific meetings each year, including the Experimental Biology meeting, which attracts thousands of scientists from around the world.
Publications[edit]
The APS publishes 15 peer-reviewed scientific journals, including the highly respected Physiological Reviews and American Journal of Physiology.
Education and Advocacy[edit]
The APS provides resources for educators and students, including lesson plans, online textbooks, and professional development opportunities. It also advocates for the importance of physiological research in health and disease at the federal level.
