Huang, and the CEO, Alan I. Leshner Advances in science and technology have the power to bridge cultural, ideological and language barriers worldwide. Even amid politically tense circumstances, science serves as a universal way to communicate across borders. Shared scientific goals represent an effective leverage for enhancing international relationships as researchers cooperatively confront questions about national security, science education, human health, environmental sustainability, the origins and nature of the universe and much more. Successful science diplomacy initiatives can be implemented at many levels—between individuals, institutions and governments. AAAS initiatives in 2011 helped to promote science and technology cooperation broadly across various geographic regions, particularly Asia-Pacific Rim countries such as China, India and Mexico. In Bangalore, for instance, AAAS teamed up with an elite group of Indian science leaders to explore the need for universally compatible scientific standards and practices. Cohesive, consistent policies and ethical guidelines have become ever more important as multi-national, multi-disciplinary research teams scramble to mitigate disasters caused by nature and people. Association leadership emphasized that message at the World Science Forum in Hungary and elsewhere over the past year. Turn to pages 12-13 for more information on these and other high-impact contributions by the AAAS International Office. 2 AAAS Annual Report 2011 Improving science education—and providing support as well as unparalleled resources to teachers, students and science career seekers—has long been the focus of multiple AAAS activities. In 2011, those efforts included, as one example, a major conference for more than 500 college and university faculty, administrators and others who are working to advance undergraduate education in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM). Participants described an array of innovative and increasingly multi-disciplinary projects to help promote student learning while providing them with hands-on discovery experiences. The event was organized by AAAS Education and Human Resources staff as part of the Association’s ongoing work with the National Science Foundation (NSF) program that promotes Course, Curriculum and Laboratory Improvement. Other education and career-related events focused on expanding the innovation pipeline by developing strategies to recruit and retain a more diverse community of scientists and engineers. Transformative thinking and new ideas often spring from new participants to the science and engineering enterprise. This is why AAAS coordinates science and technology internships, in concert with NASA, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, and companies like IBM, Merck and Lockheed Martin, for qualified, motivated students with disabilities. Similarly, AAAS in 2011 hosted 600 attendees of the NSF Emerging Researchers National Conference in STEM—part of a broad effort to support scientists from historically under-represented groups, a goal of the America COMPETES Act. AAAS further issued a new NSF-sponsored guide for graduate program leaders interested in measuring the effectiveness of efforts to promote diversity. Of course, student performance in scienceand technology-related fields depends to a large extent on curriculum and the capability of their teachers. A new Web site developed by Project 2061, the renowned AAAS science-literacy initiative, helps educators more accurately assess how well students understand science concepts presented to them in classrooms. The online resource offers unusually detailed information on how thousands of U.S. middle- and early high-school students answered 600 multiple-choice questions on topics ranging from cell biology to plate tectonics. These and other 2011 highlights of AAAS science education activities are described on pages 14-15. society. The AAAS Research Competitiveness Program, meanwhile, continues to support the efforts of science innovators throughout the United States, and in Saudi Arabia and Europe. See pages 7-9 for more information on the work of the AAAS Center of Science, Policy and Society Programs, and pages 16-17 for details about the Center for Science, Technology and Security Policy. AAAS also worked to engage its membership and the public in key science-society issues. The successful launch of MemberCentral, the Association’s community portal for members, now offers an array of multi-media materials on topics ranging from climate change to genetic sequencing, and from the obstacles facing women in science to the meaning of “transformative research.” Public engagement activities in 2011 encompassed, for example, Family Science Days at the AAAS Annual Meeting and participation in the USA Science & Engineering Festival. The scourge of HIV/AIDS, regional shortages of food and water and the looming global climate change crisis are examples of global challenges requiring science-based solutions. U.S. federal research and development (R&D) funding remains essential to both American competitiveness and efforts to combat problems that affect all of us, worldwide. Objective, authoritative analyses completed by the AAAS R&D Budget and Policy Program, combined with the communication efforts of the Association’s Office of Government Relations (pages 10-11), are helping to inform U.S. science policy on issues at the intersection of science and The Science family of journals continues to publish ground-breaking original research and award-winning science news, too (see pages 18-19). Finally, the AAAS Board launched a year-long examination of all AAAS functions, including publications, with the purpose of positioning the association for continued effectiveness and service to the science community in the coming decades. With your support, these and many other AAAS activities are helping to bring a thoughtful diversity of ideas to bear on the global quest for science-based solutions and innovation. Alice S. Huang AAAS Chair (2011-2012) and Senior Faculty Associate in Biology, California Institute of Technology Alan I. Leshner AAAS CEO and Executive Publisher, Science, Science Translational Medicine and Science Signaling science without borders 3 Public Statements on Key Issues The importance of federal R&D investments, unwarranted investigations of climate scientists and the need for more diversity within the scientific community were the focus of public statements by AAAS in 2011. Through op-ed articles, letters to policymakers and speaking appearances, AAAS also tackled threats to the teaching of evolution, plus other science-society issues such as human embryonic stem cell research, science communication and nuclear proliferation. GLOBAL CLIMATE CHANGE 1 June. AAAS CEO Alan I. Leshner sent a letter to the Los Alamitos Unified School District, expressing concern about plans to treat climate change as a “controversial issue” in advanced placement environmental science classes. 28 June. A statement of the AAAS Board of Directors decried personal attacks on climate scientists. The Board noted that accounts of harassment, death threats and legal challenges had created a hostile environment, inhibiting the free exchange of scientific findings and ideas. The statement was widely reported by the news media. INNOVATION, SCIENCE AND SOCIETY 7 March. At a time when U.S. President Barack Obama has called for the next “Sputnik moment,” universities should reward faculty members for engaging a broader student population in science, thereby promoting diverse new ideas, the AAAS CEO wrote in a commentary article in The Chronicle of Higher Education. 27 May. Stimulating innovation—a critical driver of economic growth and national well-being—will require new strategies to encourage transformative research. In a Science editorial, the AAAS CEO proposed more initiatives such as the Pioneer Awards of the U.S. National Institutes of Health or the U.S. Department of Energy’s ARPA-E program, which 4 AAAS Annual Report 2011 set aside funds for frontiers-expanding research. Fostering innovation also will mean increasing the number of young scientists and the diversity of the research community as well as new evaluation and reward mechanisms, he said. the U.S. House of Representatives as well as the House Minority Leader in support of federal R&D funding. Deep cuts to R&D budgets would be detrimental to America’s scientific enterprise and productivity, AAAS cautioned. 23 June. An essay on the popular “Convergence” blog at 24 February. As the federal appropriations process began, AAAS wrote to Senators Harry Reid (D-Nevada) and Mitch McConnell (R-Kentucky)—the Senate Majority and Minority Leaders, respectively—urging them to sustain federal R&D funding. Wired.com—timed to the opening of the 7th World Conference of Science Journalists in Doha, Qatar—affirmed the role of a free press in supporting scientific progress. “Any region hoping to be recognized for innovation needs an independent press corps that is able to seek out truth, without interference, while providing a conduit for exchange between science and the rest of society,” the AAAS CEO wrote with co-author Mohamed H.A. Hassan, co-chair of the InterAcademy Panel. 5 July. In a letter to Richard M. Thomas, associate general counsel for the U.S. Office of Government Ethics, AAAS supported a proposed rule that would allow federal scientists to participate in professional societies. 11 July. AAAS urged policymakers to preserve support for “a SCIENCE EDUCATION AND ENGAGEMENT 2 March. “There is virtually no scientific controversy among the overwhelming majority of researchers on the core facts of global warming and evolution,” the AAAS CEO wrote in a letter to two Tennessee policymakers. The letter was a response to HB 368, an anti-evolution bill. 25 March. AAAS sent a letter commending the efforts of Senator Al Franken (D-New Mexico) to advance science, technology, engineering and mathematics education (STEM) by rewarding high-quality teachers through the STEM Master Teacher Corps Act of 2011. 5 April. In a letter to representatives of the Tennessee Legislature, AAAS asked them to reject HB 368 and instead support a rigorous scientific education curriculum. 25 August. “Science enrichment opportunities are an impor- tant component of science education, and they are everywhere, for young and old alike,” the AAAS CEO wrote in an op-ed related to the 2012 AAAS Annual Meeting in Vancouver. The piece in the Vancouver Sun, co-authored with Tracy Ross of the Canadian Association of Science Centres, affirmed the importance of informal science learning. THE SCIENTIFIC ENTERPRISE 16 February. With U.S. policymakers facing intense pressure to cut the national deficit, AAAS wrote to the Speaker of balanced portfolio of scientific and technological discovery and innovation that has fueled American economic growth and rising standards of living for decades.” The association’s letter to the U.S. Joint Select Committee on Deficit Reduction also was signed by representatives of nearly 70 other science and engineering societies and universities. 13 July. Three AAAS senior managers sent a letter on the revised merit review criteria put forward from the National Science Board’s Task Force on Merit Review. 28 July. AAAS hailed a ruling that allowed continued federal funding of embryonic stem cell research. U.S. District Court Judge Royce Lamberth dismissed a lawsuit challenging federal funding of embryonic stem cell research, deferring to a ruling by the U.S. Court of Appeals that the research did not violate federal law. “Embryonic stem cell research is an extremely promising approach to developing more effective diagnostics and treatments for devastating conditions such as diabetes, spinal cord injuries and Parkinson’s disease,” the AAAS CEO wrote. He urged Congress to pass the Stem Cell Research Advancement Act. Lamberth’s decision, and the AAAS reaction to it, received extensive news coverage, science without borders 5 including articles by the Wall Street Journal, Politico, The Chronicle of Higher Education and Agence France Press. 1 August. AAAS cautioned that a hard-fought agreement to raise the U.S. debt ceiling and reduce spending could imperil federal research investments that are essential to job creation and economic growth. Joanne Carney, director of the AAAS Office of Government Relations, warned that discretionary spending caps, approved by Congress and signed by the President, “could result in a real decrease in R&D investment for the foreseeable future.” 10 August. In a letter to the Administration of the U.S. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), AAAS applauded the release of a revised Scientific Integrity Policy. 30 August. AAAS, among many other organizations, signed onto a letter informing members of Congress of the value of R&D. “Innovative science protects public safety and national security, and supports our economic prosperity,” the letter noted. “Investing in critical science research now will create jobs and reinforce the American economy.” 26 October. In a letter to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, AAAS commented on new rules related to the protection of human research subjects. 8 November. AAAS contacted the appropriations leaders in the U.S. Senate and House of Representatives to express grave concerns regarding a House proposal to slash the Office of Science and Technology Policy budget by 50%. 11 November. “When resources are constrained, it is es- sential that they be used effectively and efficiently to avoid losing scientific momentum and to ensure that society will benefit maximally from science and technology’s potential,” the AAAS CEO wrote in an editorial in Science. He proposed steps such as harmonizing funding and reporting policies across granting agencies to reduce wasted administrative efforts and increase returns on federal R&D investments. 20 December. The association expressed concerns about the Grant Reform and New Transparency Act of 2011. Peerreviewers should remain anonymous to ensure fully candid evaluations, the CEO wrote. 6 AAAS Annual Report 2011 AAAS administered the 2011 L’Oreal Fellowships for Women in Science competition. Here, AAAS Education and Human Resources Director Shirley Malcom (center) is flanked (left to right) by award winners R. Blythe Towal, Tijana Ivanovic, Sasha Devore, Karlin Bark and Trisha Andrew. SCIENCE AND SECURITY 7 February. AAAS teamed up with three other societies to comment on “export control” rules that relate to public safety and security but also affect research and science publishing. To keep pace with rapid technological change, AAAS suggested continuously updating lists of research areas that are subject to controls. 4 March. Noting that new uranium enrichment and plutonium reprocessing technologies can pose safety, environmental and proliferation risks, AAAS supported the American Physical Society’s petition to the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission to strengthen key application procedures affecting researchers. WOMEN IN SCIENCE 8 April. “Empowering women as scientists and engineers, supporting girls’ education in science, and valuing women as builders of economic development all contribute to gender equality,” AAAS Education and Human Resources Director Shirley Malcom wrote in an editorial in Science. The piece, co-authored with Kerri-Ann Jones, U.S. Assistant Secretary of State, Bureau of Oceans and International Environment and Scientific Affairs, reported on the 55th session of the Commission on the Status of Women of the United Nations, which expanded its interests to encompass science- and technology-related concerns. Science, Policy and Society AAAS helps to direct the benefits of science to society by reaching out to government policymakers through a prestigious top-level forum and yearly fellowships that place scientists and engineers at federal agencies. The association also works with the criminal justice system and leaders in the religious community, and speaks out to uphold a universal right to the benefits of scientific advances. AAAS provides objective scientific expertise to help monitor and protect human rights and to build quality science and technology programs nationally and internationally. The King Abdulaziz City for Science and Technology, Saudi Arabia’s national science agency, is working with AAAS and others to develop a knowledge economy. Promoting Research Competitiveness The AAAS Research Competitiveness Program (RCP) provides expert advice to organizations engaging in science and technology activities around the world. In 2011, RCP completed 31 projects, conducting work for 15 different states and territories, one federal agency, the European Commission and the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. Turki bin Saud bin Mohammad Al Saud, of the Saudi national science agency, explained his organization’s satisfaction with AAAS as Saudi Arabia set out to reinvigorate its science sector by shaping a research grant competition based on tough, independent peer review: “We have established a certain level of quality that everyone appreciates,” Turki said, “and it is helping to turn around the research capability in the kingdom. 36th Annual AAAS Forum on S&T Policy Science and policy leaders at the 2011 AAAS Forum on Science and Technology Policy stressed the importance of fostering innovation in the United States as a crucial economic driver. At the same time, Forum speakers warned that uneven commitment to innovation, such as neglecting efforts to improve science education could impede science and technology initiatives. Speaker John P. Holdren, White House science and technology adviser, said President Barack Obama remains committed to maintaining the United States’ science leadership. He listed proposed funding increases to federal agencies that do the kind of basic research seen as fundamental to innovation. Holdren warned, however, that overall budget-cutting will present challenges to science and technology in the years ahead. The 2011 Forum was attended by some 500 top U.S. and foreign representatives from academia, government, industry and major scientific and engineering societies. Forum speakers tackled topics such as how the science community should plan for changing U.S. demographics, lessons to be learned from the tsunami-triggered accident at the Fukushima Daiichi facility in Japan, the health implications science without borders 7 The 2011-2012 class of AAAS Science and Technology Policy Fellows includes more than 250 scientists and engineers assigned to share their expertise with Congress and executive branch agencies and departments. of the 2010 Deepwater Horizon oil spill, an inside view of the HIV/AIDS crisis and response, and effectively communicating science in a rapidly changing media culture. S&T Policy Fellows Forge Ahead This year’s group of AAAS Science and Policy Fellows was the largest ever, with more than 250 scientists and engineer participants. The fellows worked in Congress and executive branch agencies and departments, providing their scientific expertise while learning firsthand about the workings of government and policy. Participating agencies included the State Department and the Environmental Protection Agency, which have both hit a 30-year milestone in their hosting of fellows. The 2011 fellows brought the total number of participants to some 2,400, and past fellows continue to demonstrate the program’s value and impact. In July 2011, the State Department named E. William Colglazier as adviser on science and technology. His introduction to science policy occurred in 1976, when he became a Congressional Science Fellow for AAAS in the office of Congressman George Brown. Forensics, Human Rights and Criminal Law DNA analysis has helped win the freedom of nearly 300 people wrongly convicted of crimes, but with such evidence only available in 5-10% of the crimes that make it to court, scientific research is needed to improve other forensic 8 AAAS Annual Report 2011 tools. “There is a huge opportunity to improve the reliability of non-DNA forensic tools,” said forensic policy specialist Sarah Chu at a meeting of the AAAS Science and Human Rights Coalition, a network of scientific and engineering organizations involved in human rights issues. At the same July 2011 meeting, Joe Cecil, scientific and technical evidence director at the Federal Judicial Center, said scientific organizations have an “affirmative obligation” to help improve the quality of forensics by providing scientific rigor, analytic techniques and methodologies. The AAAS Scientific Responsibility, Human Rights and Law Program co-sponsored a Neuroscience and the Law webinar series exploring issues such as the use of neuroscience to determine whether a defendant is competent to stand trial, and continued a series of seminars in which leading researchers educate judges about the latest advances in neuroscience. Promoting Science-Religion Dialogue The association broadly seeks to promote constructive discourse on issues at the intersection of science and society. Toward that end, the AAAS Dialogue on Science, Ethics and Religion (DoSER) hosted packed audiences at two symposia at the AAAS Annual Meeting. One explored the topic of engagement between evangelical Christians and scientists, drawing on new models of positive discourse around issues Science in the Service of Human Rights These two images show Negeha, South Darfur, on 13 January 2010, and 24 December 2010. In the lower image, AAAS satellite-image analysis determined that structures in the community had been destroyed, corroborating accounts of widespread destruction resulting in the displacement of a population of 7,000. In addition to monitoring the situation in South Darfur, the AAAS Scientific Responsibility, Human Rights, and the Law program has provided analysis of satellite images of a destructive oil spill in Nigeria, among other activities involving science and human rights. for religious scholars. Panelists including scientists, clergy, seminary professors, students and administrators drew a standing-room-only crowd with the exploration of how to incorporate cutting-edge science into theological education. Testifying on People’s Right to Science The benefits of scientific progress could include improved access to agricultural innovation, AAAS experts suggested in testimony before the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights. In her testimony, Jessica Wyndham, associate director of the AAAS Scientific Responsibility, Human Rights and Law Program, listed five elements of the right to the benefits of scientific progress: a focus on the needs of “marginalized and vulnerable” populations; creation of a participatory environment, including strong science education; enhanced international cooperation and assistance in science; protection against abuses caused by the use or the misuse of science and technology; and recognition that scientific freedom is essential. 13 January 2010 Jessica Wyndham and Mark Frankel, associate director and director of the AAAS Scientific Responsibility, Human Rights and Law Program, testified before the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights on the universal right to the benefits of scientific progress. 24 December 2010 such as climate change in order to invite further interaction. The second symposium presented a discussion of the theological implications of finding life on other planets. DoSER also co-hosted panel discussions at AAAS, as well as at the American Academy of Religion and Society of Biblical Literature annual conference, the world’s largest meeting science without borders 9 Government Relations AAAS Government Relations helps connect the science community with U.S. lawmakers through Capitol Hill briefings and events. Those events and periodic publications ensure that scientists’ expert input on pressing issues reaches policymakers and key Congressional staff members. Providing such evidence-based science and technology expertise improves the level of understanding and sophistication with which governmental decisions are made. Working With Congress: A Scientist’s Guide to Policy This book’s 2011 edition provides scientists with expert advice on how to communicate with policymakers, including which route of communication is best suited to a particular issue, whom to contact and when, what to do to prepare, and how to follow up. A companion Web site offers important updates. “With Congress looking for ways to reduce the deficit by decreasing discretionary spending, now more than ever it is critical for scientists to communicate to policymakers on why R&D is a crucial investment and why their research matters,” said Joanne Carney, director of AAAS Government Relations. R&D Funding Analysis Guides Policy The AAAS R&D Budget and Policy Program provided critical analysis of federal funding of R&D through public presentations such as a Congressional briefing in April 2011, and constantly updated online analyses of relevant appropriations processes. Such comprehensive accounting spurred AAAS to speak up throughout the year to preserve federal R&D funding in a climate of drastic budget-cutting, emphasizing R&D’s role as a catalyst for economic growth. “Over 50% of U.S. economic growth since World War II has come from science and technology,” said AAAS CEO Alan I. Leshner, executive publisher of Science, at a Congressional event. “The return on investment for academic scientific research is best estimated at around 28%.” For more information on AAAS’s statements regarding federal funding, see pages 4-6. Matt Hourihan was named director of the R&D Budget and Policy Program in December 2011. Prior to joining AAAS, Hourihan tracked federal investment in energy R&D and innovation activities for the Information Technology & Innovation Foundation. 10 AAAS Annual Report 2011 Neuroscience and Society Events A series of Capitol Hill briefings focused broadly on the topic of neuroscience. The first, on the military’s involvement in neuroscience and neurotechnology research, explored such exciting advances as the ability to restore injured patients’ ability to move and speak using neural signals transmitted to a computer. The second session provided a range of scientific perspectives on research related to possible links between cell phones and brain tumors. (Studies thus far have shown no consistent link, experts said.) Headlining the third event were the latest discoveries, diagnostic tools and treatments in traumatic brain injury, which is suffered by 1.7 million Americans each year. All three briefings were sponsored by the Dana Foundation, which awarded a second grant to continue the series in 2012. The U.S. Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency, the Veteran’s Administration and others are exploring whether neural signals can drive a new generation of advanced, dextrous prosthetics like the DEKA robotic arm. Promising neuroscience-based technologies were the focus of three AAAS briefings in 2011. [Image courtesy of DEKA Research & Development.] Other Congressional Outreach Events Varied briefings organized by the AAAS Office of Government Relations brought top science experts together with Congressional staffers and other interested parties to delve into such urgent topics as stem cell research and climate change. Periodic events focused on the impact of climate change on U.S. water resources, crop yields and the incidence of extreme weather. At one of several events co-sponsored by AAAS and other organizations such as the American Meteorological Society, climate experts considered the potential of geoengineering—or large-scale engineering of the environment such as by removing carbon dioxide from the atmosphere— to mitigate climate change. AAAS also co-organized the first official Climate Science Day on Capitol Hill. Climate scientists representing many disciplines came to Washington to visit Congressional offices with the aim of increasing dialogue between scientists and policymakers. U.S. Representatives Judy Biggert (R-Illinois) and Rush Holt (D-New Jersey) attended the April 2011 briefing where AAAS provided its analysis of the federal R&D budget. science without borders 11 AAAS Worldwide Coordinating science globally through collaborative projects and common standards is crucial to effectively surmounting major challenges facing our world, such as climate change and global health issues. AAAS promotes international research cooperation as well as science diplomacy to further the potential and scope of science and technology-based solutions, and to foster mutual understanding. S&T Cooperation in the Asia-Pacific Region Pacific Rim countries represent more than 40% of the world’s population and more than half of economic output. Bringing together 30+ leaders from the region’s science, higher-education and policy communities, a 2011 AAAS roundtable developed recommendations for “a more coherent and compatible scientific system.” The region, which includes nations as diverse as Canada, China, India and Malaysia, is characterized by pockets of huge growth in scientific research. With the aim of supporting collaborations across the Asia and Pacific region, leaders at the roundtable explored such ideas as identifying common challenges, developing compatible scientific norms and ethics, and making universities hubs for regional collaboration and problem-solving. India, AAAS Explore Science Diplomacy How can India and the United States, two major science powers, utilize cooperation in science and technology to support international relations and address critical issues? This promising area of exploration headlined a workshop in the Indian city of Bangalore, organized by India’s National Institute of Advanced Studies (NIAS) and AAAS. Top scholars, diplomats and science policy leaders concluded that the two nations should explore joint projects in developing nations such as Afghanistan as well as large- Science and Diplomacy Publication Announced The 2012 launch by AAAS of Science and Diplomacy, a quarterly online publication designed to address issues at the intersection of science and foreign policy, was announced in November 2011. Visit www.sciencediplomacy.org. 12 AAAS Annual Report 2011 scale research collaborations, especially to handle global concerns. “We should be addressing as partners some of the pressing global problems like renewable energy, climate change or drugs for infectious diseases,” said NIAS Director V.S. Ramamurthy, a nuclear physicist and former secretary to the Indian Department of Science and Technology. “We are living at a time when science and technology are embedded in almost all of human activity,” said AAAS CEO Alan I. Leshner, executive publisher of Science. “Advancing science will require making relevant scientific values, policies and regulations compatible.” World Science Forum in Hungary At the 2011 World Science Forum, some of the world’s most respected research and policy leaders emphasized that global science coordination will be required to handle regional and global challenges. “We can only contribute fully to solving global problems if the scientific community itself is functioning in a truly global way,” said AAAS’s Leshner at the Forum’s opening session, which was attended by some 500 science experts. Leshner and other science authorities called for common standards in science ethics, education, peer review and intellectual property, as well as increased mobility of scientists and research funding to tackle tough issues involving health, energy and the environment. The global research landscape is rapidly shifting, speakers said, with increasing numbers of researchers coming out of Asia and many developing nations building science capacity. Report Offers Roadmap for Haitian Science In workshops organized by AAAS and its Caribbean Division, some 100 scientists, engineers, educators and government leaders determined that Haiti and the international community should work together to build the island nation’s science capacity as a means to recover from disaster and begin long-term, sustainable development. Held in Port-au-Prince, the workshops involved participants from Haiti, Puerto Rico, Canada, Rwanda and the United States. Fritz Deshommes, president of the Haitian students gather around a computer. Formal and informal educational opportunities were cited in the AAAS report as ways to leverage the benefits of science for Haiti’s post-earthquake reconstruction and future development. newly formed Haitian Association for the Advancement of Science and Technology, referred to the resulting AAAS report, Science for Haiti, as “the possibility of a vision for Haiti that is more rational, authentic and reassuring, one that is not limited to humanitarian aid nor condemned to perpetual dependence.” The report makes recommendations to strengthen science and science education in Haiti, with the assistance of collaborative partnerships and other support from the international science community and aid organizations. Academy of Sciences for the Developing World To maximize their efforts in science diplomacy, AAAS and the Academy of Sciences for the Developing World (TWAS) formally agreed to promote regional cooperation among developing countries and to increase the capacities of foreign and research ministries to build science partnerships. “Our new collaboration with TWAS will help identify new mechanisms for increasing the role that science can play in addressing some of the great international and global challenges,” the AAAS CEO said. science without borders 13 Science Education and Careers Science education and literacy relate directly to society’s progress and well-being. Now more than ever, everyone needs a basic understanding of the nature of science and the natural world. At the same time, science and technology workplaces require well-trained candidates from diverse backgrounds. AAAS education and career programs reach out to all students and job seekers, aiming to encourage their personal and professional development and their contributions to science and technology. Project 2061: Promoting Science Literacy Project 2061 at AAAS continued to carry out high-quality research and development efforts with support from the National Science Foundation, the U.S. Department of Education and other federal agencies. As part of a new study, the project embarked on a plan to find ways to turn “green” school buildings—along with the technologies they use and the data they generate—into compelling contexts for student learning in mathematics and science. In April 2011, Project 2061 launched a hugely popular science assessment Web site with more than 700 test questions to help educators monitor not only what students know about science, but what they don’t know. Each of the questions on the site was answered by at least 2,000 middle- and high-school students in districts across the nation. The questions were designed to assess a student’s ability to explain phenomena and to reason logically; the misconceptions revealed by the questions provide valuable insights for teachers. Focusing on middle-school curriculum, a Project 2061 research team pilot-tested a four-week unit aimed at building students’ comprehension of difficult ideas about chemical reactions in living and non-living systems. The tests showed statistically significant gains in understanding by students in both suburban and urban classrooms. Transforming Undergrad science Education The 2011 Transforming Undergraduate Education in Science conference, sponsored by AAAS and the National Science Foundation (NSF), attracted 590 registrants. Its urgency was heightened by a recent national report showing that very few K-12 students in the United States have the skills needed to pursue careers in science and technology. Members of the AAAS Spark Club, an after-school curriculum for 6th - 8th graders, demonstrated a turbine project at a 2011 Earth Day celebration on the National Mall. Also in 2011, the Spark Club added an activity related to the nature of light and energy and one in which students built passive solar home models. Preliminary analysis of the club’s impact has shown that participants are significantly more likely to say they want to be scientists as adults. 14 AAAS Annual Report 2011 “The performance from K-12 students is connected to the capability of their teachers,” said Shirley Malcom, director of AAAS Education and Human Resources. “The development of this capability is a responsibility that begins in our colleges and universities.” Conference participants emphasized that although NSFfunded projects have resulted in the creation of innovative teaching techniques, effective means for evaluating and disseminating those techniques must be further developed. Carl Wieman, Associate Director for Science at the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy, urged educators at the meeting to adopt techniques that help students to “think like scientists,” rather than to memorizing facts. Mass Media Fellows at the Forefront To gain direct experience with the media, the most recent group of 11 AAAS Mass Media Science & Engineering Fellowship recipients spent ten weeks reporting on science at the Chicago Tribune, Los Angeles Times, Philadelphia Inquirer, Oregonian, Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, Science, Scientific American, Sacramento Bee, Raleigh News & Observer, National Public Radio, KUNC-FM in Greeley, Colorado, and the Voice of America. The graduate and post-graduate science, engineering and mathematics students actively produced content for their respective newsrooms after a short orientation at AAAS headquarters. “Above all else, we hope the fellows will be inspired to incorporate effective science communication into their core professional work,” said AAAS staffer Rahman Culver. ENTRY POINT! Interns Make Their Mark AAAS’s ENTRY POINT! program partnered with organizations such as NASA, IBM and Merck to place 33 undergraduates in internships in 2011. If all goes well, one of those summer interns will watch a precipitation satellite that she worked on launch in 2013. AAAS Expert Receives Top Appointment Shirley Malcom, director of AAAS Education and Human Resources, served as one of the United States’ six public delegates at the United Nations Commission on the Status of Women, providing her expertise on women’s and girls’ participation in science and technology. Measuring Diversity Report Released AAAS, in partnership with the National Science Foundation, issued a guide offering detailed, practical tools for universities to evaluate graduate programs in science, engineering and related fields, especially with regard to participation and success of minority students.

Periodic sessions on Capitol Hill and at AAAS encouraged dialogue about security issues between scientists and government policymakers. International workshops offered collaborative opportunities to scientists in other countries, and AAAS-organized discussions brought together divergent research and security communities on security-related issues. U.S. Ambassador Susan Burk spoke at a “short course” briefing on nuclear security. Nuclear Security Short Course AAAS presented five intensive sessions on nuclear-security issues for Congressional and federal agency staffers in 2011. The “short course” brought together respected scholars and other leading experts who shared their insights on nuclear weapons, proliferation, arms control and terrorism. Under a grant from the Carnegie Corporation, the course was part of a broader effort to build expertise within Congress on nuclear security issues. Additional seminars explored issues ranging from detecting concealed nuclear radiation sources, to White House planning advice for a response to a nuclear detonation—facilitating valuable interaction between the science and security communities. Field trips took Congressional staffers to nuclear security facilities in this country and abroad. Promoting Responsible Bioscience In 2011, the Center for Science, Technology and Security Policy (CSTSP) hosted the second and third workshops in a series on fostering safety and security in bioscience research in countries from the broader Middle East and North Africa (BMENA). The workshops sought to encourage international cooperation against such threats as infectious disease. The conferences incorporated input regarding particular challenges that were cited by BMENA university administrators 16 AAAS Annual Report 2011 The AAAS Center for Science, Technology and Security Policy hosted a workshop in Kuwait on fostering safety and security in bioscience research. and science leaders, while exploring how to improve capabilities to prevent and respond to biological threats whether natural, accidental or intentional. Discussion focused on common principles in bioethics, biosafety and biosecurity to foster responsible research conduct at the institutional level and to minimize biological research risks.

Discoveries unearthed from below and others retrieved from space provided fresh insight into human health and the history of the universe. Other, biological breakthroughs helped to guide critical conservation efforts and upped the ante against HIV and malaria. Science also published some landmark papers in the social sciences, including an innovative study of the social networking site, Twitter. Out of Africa, Earlier Than Expected: Artifacts found in the United Arab Emirates date back 100,000 years and imply that modern humans first left Africa earlier than researchers had believed. (Armitage et al., 28 January) Clues to Disease-Free Life: Researchers identified a mutation shared by members of a small Ecuadorian population, which seems to protect against diabetes and cancer. (Guevara-Aguirre et al., 16 February Science Translational Medicine) Picking Up Ecological Distress Signals: A series of reports showed that fire, rainfall and predators can push ecosystems to their “tipping points,” where the transition to another natural state becomes inevitable. Fortunately, 18 AAAS Annual Report 2011 warning signs of such regime shifts can be detected ahead of time. (Carpenter et al., 28 April ScienceExpress; Staver et al., 14 October; Hirota et al., 14 October) Assembling the Pieces of Japan’s Devastating Quake: Three reports provided fundamental insight into the behavior of the Great Tohoku-Oki Earthquake, which created a lethal tsunami and triggered the nuclear disaster at the Fukushima power plant complex. (Simons et al., 19 May ScienceExpress; Ide et al., 19 May ScienceExpress; Sato et al., 19 May ScienceExpress) Common Origin for HIV-Fighting Antibodies: A study expanded the group of known, human antibodies that can disarm a broad spectrum of HIV viruses, suggesting that such “broadly neutralizing” antibodies are more common than once thought. (Scheid et al., 15 July) Stretchable Electronic “Skin”: Scientists described an ultrathin electronic device that attaches to skin like a temporary tattoo and measures vital signs. The technology may lead to electronic bandages that speed up wound-healing or even a touch sense for prosthetic devices. (Kim et al., 11 August) Earth-Bound Meteorites Born From Stony Asteroids: Researchers got their first up-close look at dust from the surface of a small, stony asteroid after the Japanese spacecraft Hayabusa scooped some up and brought it back to Earth. (Nakamura et al., 26 August; Yurimoto et al., 26 August; Ebihara et al., 26 August; Noguchi et al., 26 August; Tsuchiyama et al., 26 August; Nagao et al., 26 August) New Details About Australopithecus sediba: Analysis of Au. sediba, a primitive hominin that existed around the same time early Homo species first appeared on the planet, made it clear that this ancient relative displayed both primitive characteristics as well as more modern, human-like traits. (Pickering et al., 9 September; Carlson et al., 9 September; Kibii et al., 9 September; Zipfel et al., 9 September) Twitter as a Mood Ring for the World: Researchers used Twitter to study the moods of individuals from various cultures around the world and identified consistent variations in their moods, depending on the time of day and season. (Golder et al., 30 September) Pristine Gas in Space: Researchers detected two stars without discernible metals, based on observations made with the Keck telescope in Hawaii. (Fumagalli et al., 10 November ScienceExpress) Other Science Highlights Powerful Special Issues: Science published 10 comprehensive special issues that focused on broad topics like “Dealing With Data” and “Synthetic Biology,” each informing national discussions. Many included rich online visualizations, and one about “Population” was launched via Science’s new iPad app, designed for such specialized topics. Military Releases Afghan Civilian Casualty Data to Science: For an exclusive News Focus story, the International Security Assistance Force (ISAF) released its database of civilian casualties in Afghanistan to Science correspondent John Bohannon. This database and an analysis by researchers revealed a picture of a conflict that was growing deadlier for the Afghan population. Egyptian Science in the Spotlight: In a special News Focus section of the journal, award-winning news writer Andrew Lawler took a close look at the state of science in Egypt following the republic’s popular uprising and detailed what it would take to raise Egyptian science to international levels. Delving Into Mysteries: Starting with “Mysteries of the Cell” in 2011, the Science news team kicked off a new, ongoing series of articles that will periodically take aim at longstanding scientific questions. ScienceNOW Expands Its Reach: More media outlets, including the Boston Globe, Buffalo News and Wired.com, registered for a free service that disseminates articles from ScienceNOW, Science’s online, daily news service, for publication. Honors We Brought In: Science was awarded the 2011 Communications Award from the American Society for Tropical Health and Hygiene in recognition of the journal’s coverage of global health issues. This was the first time the award recognized a “body of work,” rather than a single article, for educating lay Access the Science journals online at www.sciencemag.org.

(The Financial Times was a co-winner of the award.) Two articles by the Science’s News team in 2011 were selected for the 2012 edition of Best American Science Writing. In “Aging Genes,” Jennifer Couzin-Frankel examined the fierce debate over the putative role of sirtuins in cellular aging, and in “Mending the Youngest Hearts,” Gretchen Vogel described progress with tissue-engineered blood vessels used to repair malformed hearts in very young children. Honors We Gave Out: Continuing its tradition of support for promising young scientists, Science awarded the 2011 Eppendorf & Science Prize for Neurobiology to Tiago Branco in recognition of his work on cracking the “language of dendrites.” And, the first genome-wide spatial map of the human genome— showing how the two-meter-long human genome can fold up inside the nucleus of a cell—earned Erez Lieberman Aiden the GE & Science Prize for Young Life Scientists. A $25,000 cash prize accompanied both awards. A method to observe individual atoms in an ultra-cold gas as they transition from one quantum state to another won the 2011 Newcomb Cleveland Prize, supported by Affymetrix. And the Science Prize for Online Resources in Education (SPORE) competition came to a close in 2011 after honoring 24 outstanding Web sites for their use of online material in science education. ScienceCareers: For the 11th year in a row, ScienceCareers published its annual Top Employers Survey, this time with a new podcast component. The career-oriented component of Science also posted 14 special career ad features—showcases of job opportunities in various fields along with the skills needed to acquire such positions—that highlighted post-docs, neuroscientists, careers in China and careers in Europe. ScienceCareers also published a special booklet, entitled Finding Your Personal Job Chemistry. science without borders 19 MEDIA AND PUBLIC ENGAGEMENT Cultivating public engagement with science’s advances is a critical endeavor. Global challenges require an understanding of science. Our national well-being depends on support for science. Even personal health decisions are made more wisely with an understanding of science’s breakthroughs. AAAS amplifies and clarifies messages about the world of science through its top-notch Annual Meeting, online news activities, awards and fellowships for science journalists and research-informed public events. AAAS Family Science Days in Washington, D.C., included a series of engaging stage presentations that encouraged audience participation. AAAS Annual Meeting Reaches Out With the theme of “Science Without Borders,” the 2011 AAAS Annual Meeting brought together nearly 5,000 researchers, science policy experts and educators, who took part in a wide array of presentations and activities. These ranged from a discussion of the challenges of sustainably feeding the planet’s inhabitants in 2050, when our population is expected to hit 9 billion, to a machine that could “print” new skin, one thin layer at a time, to treat wounds. More than one thousand U.S. and foreign newsroom registrants also participated in the meeting, providing extensive international news coverage on the latest scientific progress and challenges. At the meeting’s Family Science Days, nearly 2,100 attendees of all ages were treated to various activities, from making bouncing balls using polymers, to a dance performance exploring the evolution of life, to meeting and chatting with scientists about their work. Supporting Science Journalism Broadly EurekAlert!, AAAS’s online news service, supplied breaking news to approximately 1 million unique online visitors each month, for a total of 1.5 million monthly visits. Some 8,600 registered science reporters and editors from 85 countries received a news package via e-mail to alert them each week to the latest breakthroughs from Science, 20 AAAS Annual Report 2011 Science Translational Medicine and Science Signaling as well as hundreds of other sources on EurekAlert!. For its part, the online “SciPak,” or Science press package, offered access to summaries of forthcoming research, related photos, videos, audio recordings, background information and opportunities to interview researchers. In 2011, the Science public information team added Arabic-language translations of the top four news summaries each week, supplementing existing translations in French, Spanish, Chinese and Japanese. EurekAlert! helped sponsor the World Conference of Science Journalists in Doha, Qatar, where Alan I. Leshner, AAAS CEO and executive publisher of Science, served as keynote speaker. EurekAlert! also introduced a cancer research portal, live webcast coverage of the AAAS Annual Meeting, video interviews with researchers for the site’s Science Reporting for Kids portal, and a new system to let news outlets such as the Washington Post, Wired.com and Huffington Post republish ScienceNOW content. The 2011 EurekAlert! Fellowships for International Science Reporters went to four reporters—from Argentina, Chile, China and Egypt—who received stipends to attend the AAAS Annual Meeting. Meanwhile, the AAAS Kavli Science Journalism Awards singled out stories on the use of genetic analysis to help save a boy with a life-threatening disease, on the potential impact of climate change in two places, and on the secret lives of scientists and engineers, to name a few of the winning topics picked by an independent panel of science journalists. Funded by The Kavli Foundation, the awards go to professional journalists for distinguished reporting for a general audience. a science and engineering standpoint, can a mine proposed to extract billions of tons of copper and gold be developed in the region’s sensitive, earthquake-zoned environment without endangering its world-class wild salmon fishery and the communities that depend on it? At the 2011 AAAS Pacific Division meeting, Princess Takabuti, an Egyptian mummy who dates back to about 700 B.C., was one of the stars. The meeting was held in conjunction with the 7th World Congress on Mummy Studies and offered sixteen sessions on the science of mummies, from DNA analysis to techniques for developing facial images from mummified remains. The meeting offered a broad range of symposia beyond its focus on mummies, on topics such as tsunamis, Antarctic ice analysis, Fragile X Syndrome and the ways in which music and the sciences intersect. The AAAS Caribbean Division worked with Haitian, Puerto Rican, Canadian, Rwandan and U.S. scientists, engineers, educators and government leaders to develop a workable roadmap for science development in Haiti. For more information, see page 13. Abelson Event on Alzheimer’s Research AAAS and the journal Science Translational Medicine invited top experts in the field of Alzheimer’s disease to an April 2011 event intended to stimulate new thinking about the condition and help speed medical advances. Researchers spoke to a packed auditorium, offering insights on a disease that is currently predicted to affect 16 million Americans within 50 years. The event was named after the late Science editor and AAAS senior adviser Philip Hauge Abelson. Engaging with the AAAS Divisions The 2011 AAAS Arctic Division meeting provided an important forum for public debate, drawing more than 75 scientists, policymakers and others from the United States, Canada and Russia’s Kamchatka Peninsula as well as 150 residents from Alaska’s Bristol Bay region.

A record number of individuals made gifts to the Flexible Action Fund in 2011. ENTRY POINT! Alumnus Gives Back Schuyler Kaye, an alumnus of AAAS’s ENTRY POINT! program, has named the program and AAAS as the recipient of charitable contributions from his new business, T4Execs. This decision reflects the importance of his ENTRY POINT! experiences in shaping his business model. Kaye served as an ENTRY POINT! intern—participating in a summer program for undergraduate and graduate science, technology, engineering and mathematics students with apparent and non-apparent disabilities—at the National Science Foundation in 2000. In 2001, he took a second ENTRY POINT! post at NASA Dryden Flight Research Center, and in 2002, a third at NASA Langley Research Center. After graduating from New Mexico State University with a bachelor of science degree in computer science and a minor in mathematics, Kaye worked for Lockheed Martin. He also enrolled at Stanford University, where he earned a master’s degree in computer science. Kaye was then accepted in a highly competitive program at Lockheed Martin, working with top executives on advancing the overall function, operation and visibility of corporate efforts. Later, he launched T4Execs based on his experiences with “reverse mentoring”—assisting executives with their online brand presence and other social media issues. The company’s first product, a social media training package, helps individuals actively shape their online reputation. The ENTRY POINT! program at AAAS provided Kaye with opportunities to overcome the many barriers he once saw in the world. Through his gifts, he hopes to create more Rebecca Riffkin, AAAS SPECIAL GIFTS 2011 ENTRY POINT! alumnus Schuyler Kaye opportunities within the program and, in turn, attract more people with disabilities to science, technology, engineering and mathematics fields.
