AERA Celebrates #ThankAScientistWeek


September 2017

During the week of September 18, AERA joined eight other national scientific organizations across a diversity of disciplines to recognize and celebrate the contributions of researchers during #ThankAScientist week. AERA and its partner organizations encouraged Twitter users to reach out and thank scientists from all fields for the research they produce and how they have positively impacted society. 

The response on Twitter was huge with thousands of tweets from people sharing positive comments about the societal contributions of scientists. March for Science was among the organizations retweeting messages from AERA and other participating organizations.

Other organizations participating in #ThankAScientist Week included the American Chemical Society, American Geophysical Union, American Physical Society, American Psychological Association, Association for Research in Vision and Ophthalmology, Linguistic Society of America, National Communication Association, and Research!America.
