	Dr. Chappell was pre-eminent among those seeking clarity in alternative concepts of contemporary physics, cosmology, and natural philosophy. Much of his life was devoted to promoting scholarly discussions and critiques of opposing viewpoints in those fields. Toward that end, he organized and chaired sessions in annual regional meetings of the American Association for Advancement of Science (AAAS), which attracted leading speakers and scientists from around the world. These comprised the largest group of such scholarly discussions ever held in the U.S., as recognized in <em>Galilean Electrodynamics</em>, V5, N6 (Nov/Dec 1994); ''Apeiron'', V1, N20 (Oct 1994), and <em>Apeiron</em>, V2, N4 (Oct 1995).

	In his role as NPA's director, Dr. Chappell organized and Chaired meetings, wrote a quarterly newsletter, and held a lively exchange among members and interested scholars worldwide. Between 1961 and 2002, he authored more than eighty-five scientific articles, chapters, and reviews in the areas of natural philosophy, physics, earth sciences, social sciences, and history.

			In 2015, the NPA membership abandoned the NPA after rouge directors took over and formed the [[John Chappell Natural Philosophy Society]], paying homage to the modern father of critical scientific thinking.
