THROUGH ITS PRINT AND ONLINE INCARNATIONS, SCIENCE REACHES AN ESTIMATED WORLDWIDE READERSHIP OF MORE THAN ONE MILLION. IN CONTENT, TOO, THE JOURNAL IS TRULY INTERNATIONAL IN SCOPE; SOME 35 TO 40 PERCENT OF THE CORRESPONDING AUTHORS ON ITS PAPERS ARE BASED OUTSIDE THE UNITED STATES. ITS ARTICLES CONSISTENTLY RANK AMONG WORLD'S MOST CITED RESEARCH. SCIENCE'S LEADING POSITION STEMS FROM MANY FACTORS: - THE JOURNAL'S STRONG TRADITION OF EDITORIAL INDEPENDENCE; - ITS HIGH STANDARDS OF PEER REVIEW AND EDITORIAL QUALITY (OF THE MORE THAN 12,000 TOP-NOTCH SCIENTIFIC MANUSCRIPTS THAT THE JOURNAL SEES EACH YEAR, LESS THAN 8% ARE ACCEPTED FOR PUBLICATION); - ITS BOARD OF REVIEWING EDITORS, CONSISTING OF MORE THAN 100 OF THE WORLD'S TOP SCIENTISTS; - ITS STRONG CONNECTIONS WITH THE SCIENTIFIC COMMUNITY, WHICH ENSURES A STREAM OF LIVELY, UP-TO-DATE, AND AUTHORITATIVE NEWS AND COMMENTARY IN ITS PAGES; - THE DEDICATION OF ITS PROFESSIONAL STAFF IN THE U.S., THE U.K., AND OTHER COUNTRIES, INCLUDING 26 PH.D. EDITORS, A CREATIVE PRODUCTION AND ART GROUP, AND A TEAM OF SCIENCE WRITERS, REPORTERS, AND JOURNALISTS SECOND TO NONE; - THE SUPPORT OF ITS PUBLISHER, AAAS, THE WORLD'S LARGEST GENERAL-SCIENCE SOCIETY. TODAY, A CENTURY AND A QUARTER AFTER ITS FOUNDING, SCIENCE CONTINUES TO PUBLISH THE VERY BEST IN SCIENTIFIC RESEARCH, NEWS, AND OPINION. WHETHER YOU'RE CONCERNED WITH AIDS, SARS, GENOMIC MEDICINE, MARS, OR GLOBAL WARMING, OR JUST WANT TO KEEP ABREAST OF WHERE THE SCIENTIFIC WORLD IS AND WHERE IT'S GOING, YOU WILL FIND SOMETHING WORTHWHILE IN SCIENCE. IN KEEPING WITH ITS TRADITION OF BREAKING NEW GROUND IN SCIENTIFIC PUBLISHING, SCIENCE WAS A PIONEER IN MOVING JOURNAL CONTENT ONLINE, BEGINNING THE SHIFT IN 1995 WITH THE START OF SCIENCE ONLINE, OF OUR ONLINE SCIENCE JOBS SITE, SCIENCE CAREERS, AND OF OUR CAREER DEVELOPMENT SITE FOR YOUNG SCIENTISTS, NEXT WAVE (WHICH HAS NOW BEEN MERGED WITH THE CAREERS SITE). SINCE THEN, OUR WEB FAMILY HAS GROWN IN SCOPE: - THE FLAGSHIP SCIENCE MAGAZINE SITE PROVIDES THE FULL TEXT OF THE JOURNAL'S NEWS STORIES, RESEARCH REPORTS, AND COMMENTARY ARTICLES IN A SEARCHABLE DATABASE, ENHANCED BY ADDITIONAL INFORMATION, LINKS, MULTIMEDIA, AND USER SERVICES, AS WELL AS A DATABASE OF SCIENTIFIC-PRODUCT INFORMATION. - THE SCIENCE EXPRESS AREA OF THE SITE POSTS SELECTED ORIGINAL, PEER-REVIEWED HOT RESEARCH WEEKS AHEAD OF ITS PRINT PUBLICATION DATE, THEREBY MAKING THE WORK AVAILABLE TO THE SCIENTIFIC COMMUNITY WITHIN A MATTER OF DAYS AFTER MANUSCRIPT ACCEPTANCE. - THE SCIENCENOW ONLINE DAILY NEWS SERVICE BRINGS BRIEF BREAKING NEWS STORIES FROM THE AWARD-WINNING REPORTING STAFF OF SCIENCE TO YOUR COMPUTER DESKTOP EVERY BUSINESS DAY. - SCIENCE SIGNALING OFFERS ORIGINAL REVIEW ARTICLES, PROTOCOLS, TEACHING RESOURCES, AND OTHER RESOURCES ON CELLULAR SIGNAL TRANSDUCTION -- THE STUDY OF HOW CELLS COMMUNICATE THROUGH CHEMICAL SIGNALS, AN INTERDISCIPLINARY FIELD WITH IMPLICATIONS IN BIOLOGICAL AREAS RANGING FROM EMBRYO DEVELOPMENT TO CANCER RESEARCH. A UNIQUE FEATURE OF THE SITE IS ITS CONNECTIONS MAPS, WHICH GRAPHICALLY DEPICT THE CHEMICAL PATHWAYS OF CELL SIGNALING. - FROM OCTOBER 2001 THROUGH MID-2006, THE SCIENCE OF AGING KNOWLEDGE ENVIRONMENT (SAGE KE) PROVIDED A CENTRALIZED BANK OF INFORMATION ABOUT THE AGING PROCESS FOR AGING-FIELD RESEARCHERS, FEATURING NEWS, REVIEWS, COMMENTARY, A GENE DATABASE, AND OTHER TOOLS. ALTHOUGH THE SITE'S PERSONALIZATION TOOLS HAVE BEEN DISCONTINUED, AND ALTHOUGH SAGE KE CEASED PUBLISHING NEW MATERIAL IN JUNE 2006, A SEARCHABLE ARCHIVE OF THE SITE'S ARTICLE CONTENT IS AVAILABLE IN THE COLLECTIONS SECTION OF THE SCIENCE SITES. (AN EXTERNAL SISTER WEB SITE TO SAGE KE, SAGE CROSSROADS, OFFERS RESOURCES ON THE ETHICAL, POLITICAL, ECONOMIC AND SOCIETAL RAMIFICATIONS OF PRESENT AND FUTURE RESEARCH ON AGING FOR LAYPEOPLE, POLICYMAKERS, AND THE MEDIA.) - THE SCIENCE SITES INCLUDE THE WORLD'S BEST DESTINATION FOR INFORMATION ON SCIENCE JOBS, FUNDING, AND CAREER-BUILDING: SCIENCECAREERS.ORG. EXTENSIVELY REDESIGNED AND REBUILT IN THE FALL OF 2005, SCIENCECAREERS.ORG NOW COMBINES THE BEST OF SCIENCE'S NEXT WAVE, OUR PIONEERING CAREER INFORMATION SITE FOR YOUNG SCIENTISTS; GRANTSNET, OUR BIOMEDICAL FUNDING SEARCH NETWORK; AND SCIENCE CAREERS, OUR LONG-STANDING JOB-HUNTING AND NETWORKING HEADQUARTERS WITH JOB LISTINGS, RESUME POSTINGS, A SEARCHABLE MEETINGS-AND-EVENTS DATABASE, AND MORE. - FINALLY, SCIENCE TRANSLATIONAL MEDICINE FOCUSES ON PRACTICAL MEDICAL ADVANCES THAT RESULT FROM ALL STAGES OF TRANSLATIONAL MEDICINE. THE SITE OFFERS ORIGINAL RESEARCH, PERSPECTIVES DISCUSSING IMPORTANT RESULTS FROM BOTH CLINICAL AND BASIC RESEARCH VIEWPOINTS IN ALL AREAS OF MEDICINE, COMMENTARY FROM EXPERTS IN THE REGULATORY, POLICY, AND RESEARCH FIELDS, AND REVIEWS THAT IDENTIFY ROADBLOCKS IN THE TRANSLATION OF BASIC RESEARCH RESULTS INTO PRACTICAL TREATMENTS FOR SPECIFIC DISEASES AND EXPLORE TACTICS TO OVERCOME THOSE OBSTACLES. IN ADDITION TO DEVELOPING NEW ONLINE PRODUCTS AND SERVICES, SCIENCE HAS SHOWN LEADERSHIP IN OTHER AREAS CENTRAL TO OUR CORE CONSTITUENCY -- THE WORKING SCIENTIFIC RESEARCHER: - WE WERE AMONG THE FIRST SCIENTIFIC JOURNALS TO EXPLORE INSTITUTIONAL SITE LICENSING OF OUR CONTENT, A DEVELOPMENT THAT HAS SINCE BECOME COMMONPLACE AND THAT HAS PUT SCIENTIFIC CONTENT ON THE DESKTOPS OF MILLIONS OF RESEARCHERS. - WE WERE AN EARLY ADOPTER OF ONLINE MANUSCRIPT SUBMISSION, STREAMLINING THE PROCESS OF GETTING PAPERS OUT OF RESEARCHERS' OFFICES AND INTO THE REVIEW PROCESS. - WE HAVE ALSO BEEN ACTIVE IN OPENING UP OUR RESEARCH AND OTHER CONTENT TO THE DEVELOPING WORLD THROUGH AAAS'S PARTICIPATION IN ONLINE INITIATIVES SUCH AS HINARI AND AGORA AND IN OUTREACH TO LAY STAKEHOLDERS THROUGH PATIENTINFORM. 16318481 8532959 195738 CENTER OF SCIENCE, POLICY AND SOCIETY PROGRAMS (CSPSP): THE CENTER OF SCIENCE, POLICY AND SOCIETY PROGRAMS (CSPSP) SERVES SOCIETY, GOVERNMENT, AND THE RESEARCH COMMUNITY THROUGH A DIVERSE SET OF ACTIVITIES.

COMMISSION STRUCTURES ARE ESTABLISHED PRIOR TO THE YEAR FOR WHICH THEY APPLY, AND ARE CALCULATED AND ADMINISTERED BY STAFF INDEPENDENT OF THE SALES PROCESS. FORM 990, PART I, LINE 1 DESCRIPTION OF ORGANIZATION MISSION TO FULFILL THIS MISSION, THE AAAS BOARD HAS SET THESE BROAD GOALS: - ENHANCE COMMUNICATION AMONG SCIENTISTS, ENGINEERS, AND THE PUBLIC; - PROMOTE AND DEFEND THE INTEGRITY OF SCIENCE AND ITS USE; - STRENGTHEN SUPPORT FOR THE SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY ENTERPRISE; - PROVIDE A VOICE FOR SCIENCE ON SOCIETAL ISSUES; - PROMOTE THE RESPONSIBLE USE OF SCIENCE IN PUBLIC POLICY; - STRENGTHEN AND DIVERSIFY THE SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY WORKFORCE; - FOSTER EDUCATION IN SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY FOR EVERYONE; - INCREASE PUBLIC ENGAGEMENT WITH SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY; AND - ADVANCE INTERNATIONAL COOPERATION IN SCIENCE. FORM 990, PART III, LINE 4D OTHER PROGRAM SERVICES (1) INTERNATIONAL OFFICE: AS SCIENCE BECOMES INCREASINGLY GLOBAL IN CHARACTER, SCIENTISTS ARE MORE AND MORE LIKELY TO REACH ACROSS NATIONAL BORDERS IN THEIR SEARCH FOR COLLABORATORS. AT THE SAME TIME, SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY ARE BEING ASKED TO PLAY A CRUCIAL ROLE IN ADDRESSING THE SOCIAL AND ECONOMIC ILLS THAT AFFECT HUNDREDS OF MILLIONS OF PEOPLE. THE GROWING AWARENESS THAT INDIVIDUAL NATIONS CANNOT ALONE TAKE ON CHALLENGES TO ENVIRONMENTAL AND PHYSICAL HEALTH HAS LED AAAS TO WORK WITH NATIONAL GOVERNMENTS AND INTERNATIONAL ORGANIZATIONS SUCH AS THE WORLD BANK AND THE UNITED NATIONS TO SEEK INTERNATIONAL SOLUTIONS. A RESPONSE TO THESE NEEDS REQUIRES THE CREATION OF A SOLID SCIENTIFIC INFRASTRUCTURE IN DEVELOPING COUNTRIES, AS WELL AS THE PROLIFERATION OF A CULTURE OF SCIENCE WORLD-WIDE AMONG RESIDENTS OF EVERY COUNTRY AND THEIR LEADERS. AAAS' INTERNATIONAL OFFICE DEVELOPS PARTNERSHIPS AND MAINTAINS RELATIONSHIPS BETWEEN AAAS AND LEADING SCIENTIFIC ORGANIZATIONS WORLD-WIDE, INCLUDING FOREIGN GOVERNMENT AGENCIES AND NON-GOVERNMENTAL ACTORS. OUR OVERARCHING GOAL IS TO CREATE LINKAGES AND TO FACILITATE NEW INITIATIVES THAT ADVANCE THE SHARED MISSION OF ADVANCING SCIENCE AND SERVING SOCIETY. AAAS IMPLEMENTS SEVERAL PROGRAMS DEDICATED TO STRENGTHENING THE FOUNDATION FOR SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY WORLDWIDE. AMONG THEM ARE: (1) BUILDING CAPACITY IN DEVELOPING COUNTRIES; (2) PROMOTING LINKAGES WITH INTERNATIONAL SCIENTISTS; (3) ENHANCING INTERNATIONAL COLLABORATION TO ADDRESS SCIENCE-BASED ISSUES; AND (4) IMPROVING RELATIONSHIPS BETWEEN COUNTRIES AND PEOPLES THROUGH SCIENTIFIC COOPERATION. THE INTERNATIONAL OFFICE'S WORLDWIDE COLLABORATIVE EFFORTS THROUGH SYMPOSIA, CONFERENCES, RESEARCH PROJECTS, EXCHANGES AND PUBLICATIONS, FOSTER IMPROVED PUBLIC UNDERSTANDING OF SCIENCE, PROVIDE VALUABLE LINKS TO THE SCIENTIFIC COMMUNITIES AND RESOURCES OF OTHER COUNTRIES, AND ENHANCES SCIENCE'S POTENTIAL TO UNDERSTAND AND ADDRESS HEALTH, ECOLOGICAL, AND SOCIAL CHALLENGES. (2) PROJECT 2061: PROJECT 2061 IS A LONG-TERM INITIATIVE OF THE AMERICAN ASSOCIATION FOR THE ADVANCEMENT OF SCIENCE (AAAS) TO HELP ALL AMERICANS BECOME LITERATE IN SCIENCE, MATHEMATICS, AND TECHNOLOGY. TO ACHIEVE THAT GOAL, PROJECT 2061 CONDUCTS RESEARCH AND DEVELOPS TOOLS AND SERVICES THAT EDUCATORS, RESEARCHERS, AND POLICYMAKERS CAN USE TO MAKE CRITICAL AND LASTING IMPROVEMENTS IN THE NATION'S EDUCATION SYSTEM. THE PROJECT'S AREAS OF EXPERTISE INCLUDE: - LEARNING GOALS AND CURRICULUM. THROUGH ITS SCIENCE FOR ALL AMERICANS, BENCHMARKS FOR SCIENCE LITERACY AND THE TWO-VOLUME ATLAS OF SCIENCE LITERACY, PROJECT 2061 PROVIDES A COHERENT SET OF K-12 LEARNING GOALS THAT CAN SERVE AS A FOUNDATION FOR STATE AND NATIONAL STANDARDS. WITH FUNDING FROM NSF, NOAA, NASA, AND THE U.S. DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION, PROJECT 2061'S RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT EFFORTS ARE HELPING TO FOSTER A NEW GENERATION OF MORE EFFECTIVE CURRICULUM MATERIALS-IN PRINT AND ONLINE-FOR SCIENCE TEACHING AND LEARNING. PROJECT 2061 ALSO CONSULTS WIDELY WITH CURRICULUM RESEARCHERS AND DEVELOPERS. - ASSESSMENT. PROJECT 2061 HAS DEVELOPED AN ONLINE BANK OF HIGH-QUALITY TEST ITEMS AND RELATED ASSESSMENT RESOURCES FOR USE IN MIDDLE AND EARLY HIGH SCHOOL SCIENCE (HTTP//ASSESSMENT.AAAS.ORG). EACH ITEM IS RIGOROUSLY SCREENED FOR ALIGNMENT TO NATIONAL STANDARDS AND IS SUITABLE FOR USE WITH A DIVERSE RANGE OF STUDENTS, INCLUDING ENGLISH LANGUAGE LEARNERS. AS PART OF THIS NSF-FUNDED EFFORT, THE ITEMS HAVE BEEN FIELD TESTED WITH NATIONAL SAMPLES OF STUDENTS TO GAUGE THEIR KNOWLEDGE OF IMPORTANT SCIENCE IDEAS AND TO IDENTIFY COMMONLY HELD MISCONCEPTIONS. PROJECT 2061 PARTICIPATES IN A NUMBER OF NATIONAL ASSESSMENT EFFORTS AND CONSULTS ON A WIDE RANGE OF ASSESSMENT RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT INITIATIVES. - TEACHER DEVELOPMENT. IMPROVING STUDENT ACHIEVEMENT IN SCIENCE AND MATHEMATICS REQUIRES WELL-PREPARED TEACHERS WHO HAVE A SOLID GROUNDING IN THE CONTENT THEY TEACH AND AN UNDERSTANDING OF HOW DIVERSE STUDENTS CAN BE HELPED TO LEARN. PROJECT 2061'S PUBLICATIONS ARE WIDELY USED IN TEACHER EDUCATION COURSES, AND ITS RESEARCH STUDIES CONTINUE TO SHED LIGHT ON HOW TEXTBOOKS, TEACHING PRACTICES, AND PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT CAN BEST BE COORDINATED TO IMPROVE STUDENT LEARNING. PROJECT 2061 OFFERS SEVERAL PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT WORKSHOPS EACH YEAR TO INTRODUCE EDUCATORS TO THE CONCEPTUAL STRAND MAPS IN ATLAS OF SCIENCE LITERACY AND TO THE PROJECT 2061 APPROACH TO SCIENCE ASSESSMENT. (3) THE CENTER FOR SCIENCE, TECHNOLOGY, AND SECURITY POLICY (CSTSP): THE CENTER FOR SCIENCE, TECHNOLOGY, AND SECURITY POLICY (CSTSP) WORKS TO STRENGTHEN DIALOGUE AND INTERACTION BETWEEN THE SCIENTIFIC AND TECHNICAL (S&T) COMMUNITY AND THE SECURITY POLICYMAKING COMMUNITY. RECOGNIZING THE GLOBAL NATURE OF THE SCIENTIFIC AND TECHNOLOGICAL ENTERPRISE, CSTSP SEEKS TO UNDERSTAND AND PROMOTE THE VALUE OF INTERNATIONAL SCIENTIFIC ENGAGEMENT IN BUILDING SECURITY, WHILE RECOGNIZING AND WORKING TO MITIGATE TENSIONS THAT MAY ARISE BETWEEN SCIENTIFIC AND SECURITY OBJECTIVES. ADVANCES IN SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY HAVE SIGNIFICANT EFFECTS, BOTH BENEFICIAL AND ADVERSE, ON NATIONAL AND INTERNATIONAL SECURITY. SECURITY POLICIES SIMILARLY AFFECT THE SCIENTIFIC AND TECHNICAL ENTERPRISE. CSTSP WORKS WITH THOSE IN THE SECURITY AND THE S&T COMMUNITIES TO BRING ABOUT A BETTER UNDERSTANDING OF EACH OTHERS' OBJECTIVES, REQUIREMENTS, MOTIVATIONS, CONTRIBUTIONS, AND MODES OF OPERATION. IT WORKS WITH THE SCIENTIFIC AND SECURITY COMMUNITIES BROADLY TO IDENTIFY CRITICAL COMMON ISSUES, CREATE VENUES FOR EFFECTIVE DIALOGUE, DEVELOP MUTUALLY BENEFICIAL SOLUTIONS, CRYSTALLIZE POLICY TRADEOFFS, AND COMMUNICATE THE RESULTING INSIGHTS. FORM 990, PART III, LINE 4D CONTINUED (4) PUBLIC PROGRAMS: SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY ARE INTEGRAL TO EVERY ASPECT OF MODERN LIFE. DESPITE GENERALLY FAVORABLE PUBLIC ATTITUDES ABOUT SCIENCE, TECHNOLOGY, AND THEIR BENEFITS, HOWEVER, TENSIONS CONTINUE TO EMERGE AT THE INTERSECTION OF CORE HUMAN VALUES AND CERTAIN SCIENTIFIC FIELDS-FROM HUMAN EMBRYONIC STEM CELL AND GLOBAL CLIMATE-CHANGE RESEARCH, TO THE TEACHING OF EVOLUTION. INCREASINGLY, THIS TENSION HAS INTERFERED WITH SCIENTIFIC PROGRESS, THE QUALITY OF SCIENCE EDUCATION, AND THE BROADER ABILITY OF THE SCIENTIFIC ENTERPRISE TO FULLY SERVE THE NEEDS OF SOCIETY. AAAS BUILDS UPON AND MOVES BEYOND TRADITIONAL PUBLIC UNDERSTANDING EFFORTS, TOWARD MORE COMPREHENSIVE PUBLIC-DIALOGUE OPPORTUNITIES. AAAS HAS HAD LONG-STANDING SUCCESS IN BRINGING SCIENCE TO THE PUBLIC THROUGH WORK WITH SCHOOLS, SCIENCE JOURNALISTS, AND SCIENCE MUSEUMS AND CENTERS; THROUGH RADIO, TELEVISION AND INTERNET BROADCASTING; AND THROUGH NUMEROUS PUBLICATIONS TRANSLATING SCIENCE INTO MORE UNDERSTANDABLE TERMS. THROUGH ITS CENTER FOR PUBLIC ENGAGEMENT WITH SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY, AAAS IS PROVIDING A VENUE FOR MULTI-DIRECTIONAL DIALOGUE ON MANY OF THE TOPICS THAT HAVE RECENTLY CAPTURED NATIONAL AND INTERNATIONAL ATTENTION, SUCH AS STEM CELL RESEARCH AND CLONING; EVOLUTION AND SCIENCE EDUCATION; SCIENCE, TECHNOLOGY AND NATIONAL SECURITY; BIOTERRORISM; ENERGY POLICY; SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT; THE ENVIRONMENT; CLIMATE CHANGE; GENETIC MEDICINE; EMERGING INFECTIOUS DISEASES; GENETICALLY MODIFIED FOODS; SPACE EXPLORATION; AND NANOTECHNOLOGY. THE CENTER HAS LAUNCHED A SERIES OF ONGOING ACTIVITIES INTENDED TO BOOST PUBLIC AWARENESS AND UNDERSTANDING OF THE NATURE OF SCIENCE AND THE WORK OF SCIENTISTS, WHILE AT THE SAME TIME INCREASING PUBLIC INPUT INTO SCIENTIFIC RESEARCH AND POLICY AGENDAS BY CREATING A VEHICLE FOR REAL DIALOGUE AMONG POLICYMAKERS, THE GENERAL PUBLIC AND THE SCIENTIFIC COMMUNITY. TO DATE, ONGOING ACTIVITIES HAVE INCLUDED SUCH EFFORTS AS TOWN HALL MEETINGS ON ISSUES SUCH AS OCEANS, EVOLUTION, AND CLIMATE CHANGE; FREE "FAMILY SCIENCE DAYS," PLANNED IN COLLABORATION WITH LOCAL UNIVERSITIES, SCIENCE CENTERS AND OTHERS, DURING THE AAAS ANNUAL MEETING; "MEET THE SCIENTIST" EVENTS AT AAAS HEADQUARTERS; A "GLOCAL" STRATEGY TO PROMOTE LOCAL PUBLIC ENGAGEMENT REGARDING GLOBAL SCIENCE-RELATED ISSUES, BY WORKING WITH LOCAL OPINION LEADERS, POLICY-MAKERS, SCHOOL BOARD MEMBERS, CLERGY, AND THE NEWS MEDIA; THE SCIENCE INSIGHTS AND NEWS SERVICE, TO HELP INCREASE THE VOLUME OF SCIENTIFIC LEADERSHIP THROUGH NEWS OPPORTUNITIES SUCH AS OP-ED PLACEMENTS, THE AAAS SCIENCE TALK EXPERTS & SPEAKERS SERVICE, AND MORE.

THOUSANDS OF SCIENTISTS, ENGINEERS, EDUCATORS, AND POLICY-MAKERS AS WELL AS HUNDREDS OF NATIONAL AND INTERNATIONAL SCIENCE REPORTERS AND WRITERS PARTICIPATE ANNUALLY IN THIS EVENT TO CONNECT WITH EMINENT SCIENTISTS WHO SHARE INTERESTS AND PASSION FOR SCIENCE. THE 2011 ANNUAL MEETING WAS HELD IN THE NATION'S CAPITAL. WASHINGTON, D.C., IS NOT JUST A POLITICAL CAPITAL-IT'S AN INTERNATIONAL SCIENCE CAPITAL, TOO. THE NATIONAL SCIENCE FOUNDATION, THE NATIONAL INSTITUTES OF HEALTH, THE NATIONAL ACADEMIES, THE SMITHSONIAN, AND EVEN THE JEFFERSON MEMORIAL TESTIFY TO THE CENTRAL PLACE OF SCIENCE AND SCIENTISTS IN THE NATION'S PAST AND ITS FUTURE. THOUSANDS OF SCIENTISTS, ENGINEERS, POLICYMAKERS, EDUCATORS, AND JOURNALISTS FROM SOME 50 NATIONS JOINED TOGETHER AT THE 177TH AAAS ANNUAL MEETING TO EXPLORE A BROAD RANGE OF RECENT DISCOVERIES AND LOOMING GLOBAL CHALLENGES. THE THEME OF THE MEETING WAS "SCIENCE WITHOUT BORDERS." INCOMING AAAS PRESIDENT NINA FEDOROFF URGED THE WORLD RESEARCH COMMUNITY TO COLLABORATE ON "TRULY GLOBAL PROBLEMS THAT DO NOT RESPECT POLITICAL BOUNDARIES OR POLITICAL POSITIONS." "IT'S NEVER BEEN MORE IMPORTANT FOR SCIENTISTS TO WORK TOGETHER ON THE BIG ISSUES CONFRONTING THE WORLD: FOOD, ENERGY, AND WATER," FEDOROFF SAID IN A RECENT INTERVIEW. HIGHLIGHTS FROM THE ANNUAL MEETING INCLUDED SESSIONS ON OCEAN BIOMASS, SUSTAINABILITY IN A WORLD WITH 9 BILLION PEOPLE, NATURE V NURTURE IN ANTISOCIAL BEHAVIOR, AND OTHER TOPICS INCLUDING BIOSECURITY; THE POLITICS OF CLIMATE CHANGE; THE SCIENCE OF COMEDY; DEVELOPMENTS IN MALARIA TREATMENT; AND SCIENCE & TECHNOLOGY FUNDING.
