2024 AJAS Delegate Kosha Upadhyay is one of 5 students from Washington State selected as a presidential scholar, one of the nation’s highest honors for high school students.

11 high school students from across Washington State along with roughly 110 of the nation’s most promising scientists from 21 other states, were recognized for their outstanding scientific research.

The Hoveida Family Foundation's gift will support several upcoming WSAS activities in key areas such as developing the future STEM workforce, advancing Indian and Native health, and assessing the impact of COVID-19 on K-12 students.

17 members of the Washington State Academy of Sciences are among the most influential researchers in the world, according to the annual Highly Cited Researchers 2023 list from Clarivate.

The Academy has made significant progress in advancing the strategic priorities set forth by the WSAS Board of Directors in 2022.

Over the next year, WSAS will work collaboratively with legislators and other stakeholders to design a nonpartisan fellowship program that meets the needs of legislators in Washington state.

Students were selected based on original STEM research they conducted while in high school.

WSAS held a joint meeting with the National Academies on wastewater-based infectious disease surveillance.
