Czaplewski Proc. Okla. Acad. Sci. 100: pp i - iv (2020) Reflections 1 The Proceedings of the Oklahoma Academy of Science is a publication with a long and storied history. For the last century, it served as a vehicle for disseminating research findings by Oklahoma Scientists in a wide range of scientific disciplines. To celebrate publishing the 100th issue of the Proceedings; we invited past and current presidents of the Oklahoma Academy of Science to reflect on the history and value of the Journal. Below are their contributions. Dr. David Bass, University of Central Oklahoma 2000-2002 The Proceedings of the Oklahoma Academy of Science is an important scientific resource for many researchers for over a century, especially those of us interested in the natural history of Oklahoma. This journal serves as the written historical record of the flora and fauna of the state. Like many other biologists across the state, I have chosen to submit manuscripts to POAS describing Oklahoma’s biological communities because it is the logical journal to publish these papers. I look forward with both curiosity and excitement to receiving each annual issue and reading about recent discoveries in Oklahoma. Dr. Craig Clifford, Northeastern State University 2002-2004, 2012-2014 On this momentous occasion of the 100th volume of the Proceedings, I am honored to have this opportunity to add my congratulatory note. The Proceedings of the Oklahoma Academy of Science has long served as the vehicle by which scientific information of special significance to Oklahoma could find its way into print. The exceptional work of the many editors over the years has allowed new and established researchers to provide their findings to the widest audience possible while supporting the official publication of the Academy. My introduction to the Proceedings as a newly hired faculty member at Northeastern State University in Tahlequah revealed the work of dedicated fellow scientists in many fields in my new home state. The colleagues I have met and the activities I have participated in in a variety of venues provided by the Academy speak well of an institution that has served the state greatly over the many years since its inception.
