2024 Year in Review

We invite you to read our Year in Review to learn about all of the work GSA has done to support our genetics community—from travel awards, our peer-reviewed Journals, and conferences, to career development and community programs for scientists of all career stages. Your donation enables us to continue these programs as well as develop new initiatives promoting equity and inclusion, public engagement, science communication, and more.

Learn more about what we achieved in 2024 and what more we can do with your help.

 

 

As a scientific society, we hold a responsibility to continue building and diversifying our constituency to drive scientific progress in genetics. But we also face many challenges. As our community, we look to you to help us keep up with the ever-changing scientific landscape.

Mariana Wolfner, President, Genetics Society of America, 2024

Why is your donation to GSA so important?
GSA, like many professional societies, is facing substantial challenges, such as fluctuating membership, the transition to an open-access publishing model, and responding to the rapidly changing needs of our community. Your donation helps us protect and sustain GSA’s mission.

Is my contribution tax deductible? 
GSA is a non-profit charitable organization under Section 501 (c)(3). Contributions to GSA may be deductible as a charitable contribution for US federal income tax purposes. Please consult your tax advisor.
