2010 AAAS Annual Meeting: "Bridging Science and Society"
The 2010 AAAS Annual Meeting will be held in San Diego, California, bringing together an exceptional array of speakers addressing some of the most crucial and timely areas of science, technology, engineering, education, and policy-making.
Titled "Bridging Science and Society," the meeting is a call to for scientists and engineers to make their work both useful and understandable to serve society, and help the public rediscover the excitement and hope that research and its findings offer.

Art Exhibit: Climate Change in Our World
A new AAAS exhibit, "Climate Change in Our World," includes large-scale images of existing climate change effects. Environmental photojournalist Gary Braasch's five-feet high photographs illustrate the effects rapid climate change has had around the world. The photographs are part of Braasch's book "Earth Under Fire: How Global Warming is Changing the World."
A concurrent exhibit in the AAAS Gallery includes large prints of images from the book "How We Know About Our Changing Climate: Learning and Taking Action on Climate Change," co-written by Braasch and Lynne Cherry. Visitors to the gallery may also view short videos from Cherry's project "Young Voices on Climate Change." The videos show children around the world working with climate scientists and conservation organizations.
The public art opening will be held from 5-7 p.m. on 18 November. The exhibit will be in the gallery at AAAS headquarters, 12th and H Streets, N.W., in Washington, D.C. Gallery hours are Monday-Friday, 8 a.m.-5 p.m.
