IT INCLUDES SCIENTIFIC SYMPOSIA SUMMARIZING RECENT ADVANCES IN CELL BIOLOGY, AND PRESENTATION OF APPROXIMATELY 3,000 SCIENTIFIC RESEARCH FINDINGS. THE ABSTRACTS OF SCIENTIFIC PAPERS FROM THE ANNUAL MEETING ARE PUBLISHED ANNUALLY BY THE SOCIETY. THE MEETING ALSO FEATURES COMMERCIAL EXHIBITS OF PRODUCTS AND SERVICES FOR SCIENTISTS WORKING IN THE FIELD OF EXPERIMENTAL BIOLOGY. THE EXHIBITS INCLUDE SCIENTIFIC INSTRUMENTS, LABORATORY EQUIPMENT, CHEMICALS, AND PUBLICATIONS. THE ANNUAL MEETING ALSO FEATURES EXTENSIVE EDUCATION, CAREER, PUBLIC POLICY AND SESSIONS OF SPECIAL INTEREST TO UNDER-REPRESENTED MINORITIES AND WOMEN. 707997 1000 1298400 JOURNAL & OTHER PUBLICATIONS: THE ASCB OWNS AND PUBLISHES THE SCIENTIFIC JOURNAL MOLECULAR BIOLOGY OF THE CELL, THE QUARTERLY JOURNAL CBE--LIFE SCIENCES EDUCATION, AND THE ASCB NEWSLETTER, PUBLISHED 11 TIMES A YEAR. IT ALSO PUBLISHES SPECIALTY BOOKS AND PAMPHLETS ON CAREERS AND EDUCATION. 813952 251804 COMMITEES:THE SOCIETY ORGANIZES COMMITTEES TO BRING INDIVIDUALS TOGETHER TO DISCUSS POSSIBLE MEANS TO SOLVE PROBLEMS; IMPLEMENTS PROGRAMS TO BENEFIT THE CELL BIOLOGY COMMUNITY AND THE PUBLIC.THE SOCIETY'S ACTIVE COMMITTEES ARE AS FOLLOWS: EDUCATION, FINANCE & AUDIT, INTERNATIONAL AFFAIRS, MINORITY AFFAIRS, PROGRAM, PUBLIC INFORMATION, COUNCIL, EXECUTIVE, PUBLIC POLICY, WOMEN IN CELL BIOLOGY, AND COMMITTEE FOR POST-DOCTORAL PROFESSIONS AND STUDENTS.

THEIR MISSION IS TO HOST LECTURES THAT DESCRIBE ON-GOING RESEARCH IN LEADING LABORATORIES AND TO DATE HAVE APPROXIMATELY 300 IBIOSEMINARS COVERING A WIDE-RANGE OF TOPICS. IBIOMAGAZINE OFFERS A COLLECTION OF SHORT TALKS THAT HIGHLIGHT THE HUMAN SIDE OF RESEARCH. IBIOMAGAZINE GOES "BEHIND-THE-SCENES" OF SCIENTIFIC DISCOVERIES, PROVIDES ADVICE FOR YOUNG SCIENTISTS, AND EXPLORES HOW RESEARCH IS PRACTICED IN THE LIFE SCIENCES. TO DATE THERE ARE APPROXIMATELY 70 IBIOMAGAZINE TALKS. 63678 33002 MARC GRANT: THE NATIONAL INSTITUTE OF HEALTH, NATIONAL INSTITUTE OF GENERAL MEDICAL SCIENCES MINORITY ACCESS TO RESEARCH CAREERS (MARC) GRANT FUNDS MOST OF THE PROGRAMS OF THE ASCB MINORITY AFFAIRS COMMITTEE (MAC). THE MAC'S GOAL IS TO SIGNIFICANTLY INCREASE THE INVOLVEMENT OF UNDER-REPRESENTED MINORITY SCIENTISTS IN ALL ASPECTS OF THE ASCB AND CELL BIOLOGY. TO ACHIEVE THIS GOAL, THE MAC OFFERS MANY PROGRAMS THROUGHOUT THE YEAR TO PROMOTE THE RECRUITMENT AND PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT OF MINORITY SCIENTISTS. THE RELATIVELY SMALL POOL OF MINORITY SCIENTISTS WITH AN INTEREST IN CELL BIOLOGY REQUIRES THAT MAC ALSO DEVELOP PROGRAMS FOR UNDERGRADUATE AND PRE-DOCTORAL STUDENTS TO ASSIST THEM IN ACHIEVING CAREERS IN BIOMEDICAL RESEARCH. A LONG RANGE GOAL OF THE MAC IS TO CONTRIBUTE TO THE NATION'S EFFORT TO INCREASE THE NUMBER OF UNDER-REPRESENTED MINORITY SCIENTISTS. 412601 1000 1079996 MEMBERSHIP SERVICES: SINCE ITS FOUNDING IN 1960, THE ASCB HAS GROWN TO APPROXIMATELY 9,000 MEMBERS IN THE UNITED STATES AND MORE THAN 65 COUNTRIES AROUND THE WORLD.
