THE JOURNAL IS PUBLISHED WEEKLY, AND IS ALSO AVAILABLE ON THE WORLDWIDE WEB. THIS JOURNAL TOTALS OVER 48,000 PAGES PER YEAR OF ORIGINAL RESEARCH REPORTS ON BIOCHEMISTRY AND MOLECULAR BIOLOGY. ALL SCIENTIFIC PAPERS SUBMITTED FOR PUBLICATION GO THROUGH AN EXTENSIVE PEER-REVIEW PROCESS INVOLVING SOME OF THE MORE THAN 850 MEMBERS OF THE JOURNAL'S EDITORIAL BOARD.IN ADDITION, ASBMB PUBLISHES A MONTHLY MEMBER MAGAZINE, ASBMB TODAY. THIS MAGAZINE FOCUSES ON INTERNAL SOCIETY NEWS, AS WELL AS PUBLIC AFFAIRS AND MATTERS OF BROAD INTEREST TO THE MEMBERSHIP, SUCH AS COMMITTEE ACTIVITIES AND EDUCATIONAL INITIATIVES.ASBMB ALSO HOLDS AN ANNUAL MEETING, AT WHICH ITS MEMBERS AND OTHER DISTINGUISHED SCIENTISTS PRESENT SCHOLARLY PAPERS AND DISCUSS CURRENT RESEARCH AND ISSUES IN THE FIELD OF BIOCHEMISTRY AND MOLECULAR BIOLOGY. THE 2010 MEETING HAD AN ATTENDANCE OF APPROXIMATELY 4,000. APPROXIMATELY 1,300 SCIENTIFIC PAPERS WERE PRESENTED AT THE MEETING.ASBMB MAKES A NUMBER OF GRANTS AND AWARDS TO PROMISING SCIENTISTS IN THE BIOCHEMISTRY FIELD, INCLUDING AWARDS BY MERCK, SCHERING-PLOUGH AND AVANTI.ASBMB HAS A NUMBER OF SUBCOMMITTEES THROUGH WHICH A WIDE VARIETY OF ACTIVITIES ARE ORGANIZED AND CONDUCTED.THE PUBLIC AFFAIRS ADVISORY COMMITTEE IS RESPONSIBLE FOR MONITORING AND COMMENTING ON LEGISLATIVE AND REGULATORY ISSUES OF INTEREST TO THE SOCIETY.

THE COMMITTEE HAS PUBLISHED A CAREERS BROCHURE ENTITLED UNLOCKING LIFE'S SECRETS: CAREER OPPORTUNITIES IN BIOCHEMISTRY AND MOLECULAR BIOLOGY. THIS BROCHURE IS AIMED AT HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS AND UNDERGRADUATES WHO MAY BE CONSIDERING PURSUING CAREERS IN BIOCHEMISTRY OR MOLECULAR BIOLOGY. ADDITIONALLY, THE COMMITTEE HAS PREPARED A RECOMMENDED CURRICULUM IN BIOCHEMISTRY FOR UNDERGRADUATES, AND HAS SURVEYED GRADUATE SCHOOLS AND THE BIOTECHNOLOGY INDUSTRY ON WHAT COURSES THESE INSTITUTIONS WOULD LIKE PROSPECTIVE STUDENTS OR EMPLOYEES TO HAVE TAKEN.THE MINORITY AFFAIRS COMMITTEE TAKES A STRONG INTEREST IN EDUCATION MATTERS AS THEY PERTAIN TO AFRICAN, HISPANIC, AND NATIVE AMERICAN STUDENTS. VERY FEW PERSONS FROM THESE GROUPS ENTER THE FIELDS.IN ADDITION TO THE ABOVE COMMITTEE ACTIVITIES, ASBMB IS ONE OF THE FOUNDING ORGANIZATIONS OF MINORITIES IN SCIENCES AND TECHNOLOGY (MIST), A WASHINGTON-BASED COALITION OF SCIENCE ORGANIZATIONS INTERESTED IN INCREASING MINORITY EXPOSURE TO (AND PARTICIPATION IN) SCIENCE. MIST SERVES AS AN INFORMATION EXCHANGE AND COORDINATING MECHANISM AMONG THE VARIOUS SCIENTIFIC SOCIETIES INTERESTED IN MINORITY SCIENCE EDUCATION, AND SPONSORS AN ANNUAL CAREER FAIR IN WHICH ASBMB PARTICIPATES. 15491019 1 1 0 1 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 1 1 1 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 86 0 1 29 1 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 X 13 13 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 1 1 0 0 0 0 1 0 1 1 0 NY X BARBARA A GORDON 2402836600 11200 ROCKVILLE PIKE SUITE 302 BETHESDA MD 20852 SUZANNE R PFEFFER 5.00 X X 0 0 0 GREGORY A PETSKO 5.00 X X 0 0 0 MARK A LEMMON 5.00 X X 0 0 0 MEREL S OLSON 5.00 X X 0 0 0 RUMA BANERJEE 1.00 X 0 0 0 DAFNA BAR-SAGI 1.00 X 0 0 0 THOMAS E SMITH 1.00 X 0 0 0 JOAN A STEITZ 1.00 X 0 0 0 JOHN D SCOTT 1.00 X 0 0 0 ANN STOCK 1.00 X 0 0 0 BENJAMIN F CRAVATT 1.00 X 0 0 0 JAMES A WELLS 1.00 X 0 0 0 ADRIAN WHITTY 1.00 X 0 0 0 BARBARA A GORDON 40.00 X 250143 0 28707 NANCY RODNAN 40.00 X 173061 0 17306 STEPHEN MILLER 40.00 X 156193 0 15619 PETER FARNHAM 40.00 X 134335 0 13434 HECTOR MARTINEZ 40.00 X 130009 0 13001 843741 0 88067 5 0 1 0 CADMUS 8621 ROBERT FULTON DR STE 100 COLUMBIA MD 21046 JOURNAL PRODUCTION 7191938 STANFORD UNIVERSITYHIGHWIRE PRESS 1454 PAGE MILL RD PALO ALTO CA 94304 ONLINE JOURNAL SERVICES 707386 SHERIDAN PRESS 450 FAME AVE HANOVER PA 17331 JOURNAL PRODUCTION 430160 3 123960 123960 PUBLICATION SALES 511120 16982834 16982834 MEMBERSHIP DUES 900099 1059294 1059294 ADVERTISING 541800 390031 390031 ANNUAL MEETING 900099 304814 304814 JOURNAL SUBMISSION FEE 900099 3505 3505 18740478 1192832 1192832 190002 190002 15168563 14747240 421323 421323 421323 MISCELLANEOUS 900099 55993 55993 55993 20724588 18350447 390031 1860150 24632 24632 193008 193008 35833 35833 278850 278850 3111295 2472374 638921 201583 159268 42315 374019 305859 68160 178481 131973 46508 5521 3816 1705 38862 26637 12225 405780 122944 282836 199574 29197 170377 160822 152982 7840 8254506 8000547 253959 232062 149233 82829 751038 490714 260324 508271 508271 158878 68931 89947 TAXES 24600 24600 EDITORIAL ALLOWANCES 1017310 1017310 JOURNAL ONLINE 969235 969235 MISCELLANEOUS 189958 180183 9775 FASEB ASSESSMENTS 133632 133632 32785 10990 21795 17480535 15491019 1989516 0 11398228 9332771 1581078 2152078 1781213 1622041 273809 159172 38590622 47075984 6347997 6110140 58191734 64830145 1408182 1527777 5420385 5668980 6221322 6016516 13049889 13213273 X 42644812 48780336 1522901 1862404 974132 974132 45141845 51616872 58191734 64830145 X 3244053 3230974 X 0 1 1 X 0 X 1307488 1267328 1328634 1169376 1183254 6256080 16218195 16574378 16812121 16864790 17291153 83760637 17525683 17841706 18140755 18034166 18474407 90016717 0 0 0 90016717 1665674 1543359 1389861 1442534 1382834 7424262 1665674 1543359 1389861 1442534 1382834 7424262 166466 90933 78181 70172 185618 591370 13009 26671 17838 139048 55993 252559 19370832 19502669 19626635 19685920 20098852 98284908 0.91590 0.91830 0.07550 0.07960 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 EXPLANATION OF OTHER LOBBYING ACTIVITIES: PART II-B, LINE 1I: THE MISSION OF THE PUBLIC AFFAIRS COMMITTEE IS TO MANAGE THE RELATIONSHIP OF THE SOCIETY TO THE GENERAL PUBLIC AND WILL SERVE AND ADVISE THE SOCIETY LEADERSHIP ON ISSUES IN WHICH THE MEMBERSHIP HAS AN INTEREST.
