The Texas Academy of Science was first founded by teachers as the Academy of Science in Texas in 1880. The organization as we know it now emerged around 1929 and included a physicist, a botanist, a mathematician and two biologists as its founding members. TAS publishes a peer-reviewed journal (The Texas Journal of Science since 1949), conducts an annual meeting that highlights research across 17 sections across the sciences, provides substantial funding opportunities for students (~$25,000 awarded annually) and facilitates expert testimony on policy issues related to STEM and science education.
