AAAS Board of Directors, Officers and Information
Welcome from the AAAS Chair, Alice S. 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.

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.

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

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,

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.

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

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

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

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.

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.

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

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-

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

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.

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.

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.

“AAAS can be an advocate by putting a student with
disabilities in the mix,” said Richard Weibl, director of the
AAAS Center for Careers in Science and Technology and the
Project on Science, Technology and Disability.
“Minority students that are first in their family to attend
college or that come from high schools that did not prepare
them adequately, from a low socioeconomic background …
simply don’t receive information about science career
possibilities,” said Sonia Zarate, academic administrator of
the UCLA Undergraduate Research Center. Participating in

Emerging Researchers STEM Conference
Nearly 600 students from more than 170 institutions attended this conference, where in addition to presenting
their research, they learned from career scientists that
finding a place in the science community might not involve
a traditional route. Students were encouraged to perse-

Science, Technology and Security Policy
The AAAS Center for Science,
Technology and Security Policy
worked in the interest of global
security through a broad range
of events and initiatives. 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

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.

between the FBI, AAAS and
professional researchers and
community biology groups
are intended to ensure that
rules are not imposed out of
mistrust or fear, as such measures could impede biological
research without really improving security. Collaboration,
one AAAS biosecurity expert said, is “ultimately going to be
a lot more productive and lot more useful in reaching the
end goals of security and science.”

The Science Family of Journals
Science and its sister journals,
Science Translational Medicine and
Science Signaling are known for
hosting ground-breaking scientific
research each year—and 2011 was
no exception. 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

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

health conditions of poor and underserved populations.
(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

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

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.

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
