The American Academy of Arts and Sciences is one of the oldest learned societies in the United States. It was founded in 1780 during the American Revolution by John Adams, John Hancock, James Bowdoin, Andrew Oliver and other Founding Fathers of the United States, and it is headquartered in Cambridge, Massachusetts. Membership is achieved through a nominating petition, review and election process. The academy also conducts multidisciplinary public policy research, and its quarterly journal, Daedalus, is published by the MIT Press on its behalf and has been open access since January 2021.
