Social Groups

Our Book Club meets monthly, hosted by members. Our books are 300 or fewer in pages, and books and dates are chosen by polling. We meet, share drinks/snacks/stories, and sometimes talk about the book. Please join us.

Do you like board games? Maybe you do, but you sometimes have a hard time finding a third person so you can fight for control of the island of Catan. Or, you canÕt seem to find other people willing to spend all afternoon fighting an otherworldly, Lovecraftian nightmare. Perhaps you just want to bankrupt your friends and colleagues at Boardwalk and Park Place. If any of those things sound like a great way to spend time, join the Fellow Gamers Social Group!

This group seeks to serve Fellows that are current or future parents in ways that its members deemÊhelpful. We want to ease the balance of work and family among AAAS Fellows. Some fellows may find it difficult to enjoy "happy hour" while missing her child's last waking hours.ÊOthers may have moved to DC from out of town and don't know where to find a pediatrician or a babyÊsitter. The fact is that parents have special needs that, if unaddressed, limit our professional capacityÊand quality of life. Fellow Parents connects parents with each other to address these needs.

This social group aims to promote wellness, physical activity and work life balance in the lives of AAAS fellows. This group helps plan group wellness, exercise or nutrition activities adjacent to and beyond current fellow activities. It is also used to share tips on wellness, physical activity, and overall work life balance. The groupsÕ mission is to provide encouragement and support for AAAS fellows in achievement of their individual wellness, balance and overall health goals, regardless of their level of fitness.

This group is a great forum for sharing upcoming outdoor adventures, whether it be a short day hike in Rock Creek Park, a longer backpacking trip in Shenandoah, paddling on the Potomac, surfing at Assateague, biking Virginia vineyards, and finding other folks interested in tagging along.

This group is simply an opportunity to get together with other fellows to enjoy the great food optionsÊin DC.ÊWe'll try to choose cuisines and restaurants for all diets and budgets, so all are welcome. Anticipated/proposed activities: Monthly or more frequent dinners across the area, proposed by attendees of the previous dinner

This social group plans happy hours every Friday for current and alumni DC-area STPF fellows

AAAS fellows who are also yoga teachers will provide monthly yoga classes to fellows living in the DMV. Classes cater to everyone ranging from beginners to advanced.
