Жаңа Йорк Ғылым Академиясы: Тарихы мен қазіргі қызметі

American learned society

The academy hosts programs and publishes scholarly scientific content in the life, physical, and social sciences, including several cross disciplinary topics such as nutrition, artificial intelligence, space exploration, and sustainability. The academy's programs and publications are designed to discuss and disseminate accurate and timely scientific information to its members, the broad scientific community, the media, and the public. The academy also provides professional and educational resources for researchers across all phases of their careers. In 2020, Nicholas Dirks became president and CEO of the academy. The chair of the board of governors is Jerry Hultin, chair and co founder of Global Futures Group, LLC.

Founded on January 29, 1817, the New York Academy of Sciences was originally called the Lyceum of Natural History. Members, Honorary Members, Corresponding Members, and Fellows have included many renowned scientists—including dozens of Nobel Prize laureates over the years. conducting the first of its kind scientific survey and publication The Scientific Survey of Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands, from 1907 to 1934; and on the effects of asbestos on human health in 1964–65; founding the Women in Science Committee in 1977; and an early conference on SARS in 2003. More recent activities have included: annual meetings on machine learning; programs designed to reduce time and costs of Alzheimer's research; programs on the development of the brain from before birth through early childhood; convening the inaugural Summit on Science Enablement for the (United Nations) Sustainable Development Goals in 2017; and convening climate scientists and city planners, industry experts, policymakers, and representatives of NGOs for a conference marking the 10 year anniversary of a partnership between the New York City Panel on Climate Change, the City of New York, and Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences. The journal published three volumes (in 2010, 2015, and 2019) of scientific studies on climate change in NYC. Like most scientific organizations in early 2020, the academy turned resources to programming related to the COVID 19 pandemic, producing over 35 programs on the science of SARS CoV 2, developments in vaccines and therapies, and lessons on how to prepare for future outbreaks. The new facility is roughly six blocks south of the Academy's original home near Barclay and Broadway.

Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences (first published as Annals of the Lyceum of Natural History in 1823) is one of the oldest continuously published scientific journals in the United States. Annals is an international science journal published monthly in many areas of science, though predominantly the biological sciences. Each issue presents original research articles and/or commissioned review, commentary, and perspective articles. Annals is a hybrid journal—i. e., it is available by subscription from John Wiley & Sons and over 30% of individual papers are freely available via Creative Commons licenses. The journal is rigorously peer reviewed, and is currently ranked 2020 13 out of 73 journals in the Multidisciplinary Sciences category by the 2020 Journal Citation Reports™ (Clarivate Analytics). Transactions of the New York Academy of Sciences is an historical publication of the academy. Published as two series (Series 1, volumes 1–16, 1881–1897, and Series 2, volumes 1–41, 1938–1983), Transactions presents scholarly and scientific proceedings of the various Academy scientific “Sections” (e. g., Section of Anthropology, Biology, Physics and Chemistry, Oceanography and Meteorology, Mathematics and Engineering, Geology and Mineralogy, and several others) and of other scientific events and proceedings at the academy. A sister journal to Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences is Transactions, which provides a window on Academy scientific proceedings that cannot be found elsewhere, and thus is a rich history of science in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. The Sciences was a popular science magazine published by the academy from 1961 to 2001. It bridged the sciences and culture, winning seven National Magazine Awards. Over the past 15 years, these seminal publications, as well as the academy's archive, were digitized.

The Blavatnik Awards for Young Scientists were established in 2007 by the Blavatnik Family Foundation. The awards, administered by the academy,  are given each year, to early career scientists in the New York region (New York, New Jersey, and Connecticut), across the U. S., in the U. K., and in Israel. By the close of 2022, the Blavatnik Awards will have recognized more than 370 young scientists and engineers from 47 countries, and awarded unrestricted cash prizes totaling US$13.6M. Established in 2016, the Innovators in Science Award, administered by the academy and sponsored by Takeda Pharmaceuticals, honors both a promising early career scientist and an outstanding senior scientist for exceptional research contributions in rotating fields of biomedicine. The winners each receive a US$200,000 prize, intended to support their commitment to innovative research.
