Science International Speakers Urge Dialogue, Collaboration
Editor's Note: Science International was established in 1993
in Cambridge, U.K. Celebrations took place this month in the West Road Concert
Hall, University of Cambridge. Speakers' comments are summarized here. A more detailed editorial
on the Science International office appeared 6 June in Science.

Sir Paul Nurse
|
Green and warm with a light breeze off the River Cam, Friday the 13th proved
the perfect day for a party: Nobel Laureate Sir Paul Nurse threatened a sing-along
to celebrate Science International's 10th anniversary, but refrained,
respecting the pitch-perfect setting in a Cambridge music hall.
Nurse, chief executive for Cancer Research, U.K., discussed the formidable
challenges associated with effectively communicating science to the public worldwide
--a primary goal for Science International. He noted, for example, that
some laypeople have reported that they distrust genetically modified plants
because they believe, mistakenly, that "modified plants have genes, whereas
unmodified plants do not have genes." Science journalists typically are
well-prepared to report technical concepts, he said, but the job is harder for
nonspecialists. Nurse called on the research community to improve scientific
opportunities for young people and to participate in dialogue with the public.
Indeed, as science becomes an increasingly important part of everyday life
around the world, "The scientific community must find creative new ways
to engage in more international dialogue, and to listen to society's concerns,"
said AAAS CEO Alan I. Leshner, executive publisher of Science. He noted
that every major issue affecting modern life, from the economy and security
to health care, now has a core scientific component. Moreover, as scientific
issues such as cloning move closer to personal values, the public will seek
a larger role in research decisions. Leshner promised that the newly created
AAAS Center for Public Engagement in Science and Technology will help bridge
the gap between science and society.
Donald Kennedy, Science's editor-in-chief, urged the removal of barriers
to international scientific collaborations. Funders in the United States have
decreased support for post-graduate students hoping to study abroad, he said,
while tightened security measures are creating obstacles for international scholars
seeking to attend American schools. Further, Kennedy said, the U.S. government's
"relatively isolated position on climate change" has amplified a trans-Atlantic
chasm tied to attitudes about genetically modified crops, as well as America's
disappearance from multilateral organizations. "If we are to play a role
in supporting international science," Kennedy said, "We must address
these issues."
Improved global communication is a core goal for Science International,
Leshner said. "By reaching beyond our national borders, we are more effectively
fulfilling the AAAS mission to support scientific advances that benefit people
everywhere."

EDUCATION
Scientists Use Radio to Reach Out to Kids
Earlier this year, AAAS joined forces with the nation's largest African
American sorority to try to capture the imaginations of African American children
and their families by introducing them to scientists and engineers through interviews
on the radio.
Funded by the National Science Foundation (NSF), the program known as Delta
SEE Connection is part of a broad effort to bring more minorities and women
into the science and engineering workforce. According to the NSF, currently
only 24 percent of S&E workforce is female, and only seven percent is comprised
of minorities. To produce the program, AAAS joined forces with Delta Sigma Theta
Sorority, Inc., and the Delta Research and Education Foundation (DREF).
"The Delta SEE program encourages young people to aspire to careers they
were never exposed to," said sorority president Gwendolyn Boyd, an engineer
for the Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory. "The radio
interviews will show these children and their families that the world has much
to offer them, and that they have much to offer the world."
Duke University neurobiologist Erich Jarvis, one of the scientists interviewed,
says his mother helped him make the transition from dancer to scientist. She
encouraged him to follow a career that would have great impact. He chose science.
Jarvis, whose research focuses on vocal learning in songbirds, volunteered
to join an accomplished group of African American scientists, engineers, and
mathematicians who agreed to tell their stories on the Delta SEE radio program,
planned for distribution on radio stations throughout the United States.
The Delta Sigma Theta sorority was founded 90 years ago at Howard University
in Washington, D.C., by a group of 22 undergraduates, whose first action was
to join the Women's Suffrage March, demonstrating for the right to vote.
Boyd notes that the Delta SEE program fits in with the Founders' mission
for their sorority, "to promote academic excellence and to provide community
service and assistance to people in need."
"Programs such as Delta SEE are promising initiatives that we must build
on to ignite young people's curiosity about science," said AAAS President-Elect
Shirley A. Jackson, who is also President of Rensselaer Polytechnic University
and a "Delta."
"The creation of the scientists and engineers of the future is not just
about drawing more of the underrepresented majority into the workforce, but
how we can educate all potential young scientists and engineers."
WOL, 1450 AM, the Radio One station in Washington, D.C., with the largest African
American audience in the area, has become the first station to broadcast the
interviews compiled for Delta SEE, which stands for, "Science and Everyday
Experiences." The program can be heard every Saturday, from 5 to 6 p.m.,
through 18 October. In the coming weeks, the series will be distributed to radio
stations in African American markets and to radio stations operated on the campuses
of historically black colleges and universities.
The Delta SEE radio show is part of an outreach initiative with AAAS that includes
a Web site (www.deltasee.org) and regional
support from more than 900 Delta chapters. The five-year initiative is designed
to help parents and caregivers of African American elementary and middle school
children more effectively support the children's informal learning experiences.
SCIENCE CAREERS
From Lab Rats to News Hounds
"Get it right. Get it first. Get the reader."
Washington Post Editor Nils Bruzelius offered the AAAS Mass Media Fellows
these words to live by this summer, as they try their hands as science journalists.
During a three-day orientation in early June, Bruzelius and several other veterans
of print, radio, and television science journalism gave a roomful of young scientists
their first taste of the work they'd be doing for 10 weeks at news outlets
across the country.
"I was very excited....I felt like the adrenalin was really there, and
that I was really able to absorb a lot," said Lisa Lucio Gough, a cell
and developmental biologist at the University of California, Davis, who will
be working at the Richmond Times Dispatch this fall.
Each year, AAAS places 20 to 30 university science students or post-doctoral
researchers in mass media organizations nationwide. Now in its 28th year, this
highly competitive program helps high-quality science news reach the public,
while strengthening connections between scientists and journalists.
"This group is learning to communicate to a different audience, which
is a skill they'll use no matter whether they go back to academia or continue
in mass media," said Judy Kass, Project Director for Education and Human
Resources at AAAS.
While prior experience as a scientist can be an asset for a science writer
(around half of the Fellows typically continue working in journalism), it can
also offer some challenges.
"Having the background knowledge certainly works for you, as a writer.
The danger is the more you know, the harder it is to translate," Bruzelius
told News & Notes.
Both Gough and Angela Vierling, a Ph.D. candidate in mathematics who is working
at the St. Louis Post-Dispatch, agreed that they'll probably need a different
working style than they use in the lab.
"I find myself always wanting to be perfect, and a little bit obsessive,
and I think those are traits that run across scientists...." said Gough.
"When I write I'm always wondering if there's a better way to
write that, but at a newspaper, you may not be able to work that way when you're
under deadline."
"I think one challenge will be to roll with the punches," said Vierling.
"I feel like when you're in science, you're in a pretty controlled
environment. You know what you're looking for, what you want, and there
are set procedures for getting that."
"I don't think it works that way in the media. Anything can happen
at any time, and you have to be flexible enough to take the opportunities as
they come," she added.
In their workshops, Bruzelius and his colleagues covered topics such as how
to structure a news story, how to interview sources, and how to pitch a story
to an editor.
"What they really need to hear is some nuts and bolts. That makes them
feel more comfortable going into these new environments," said Kass.
Bruzelius also noted that the Fellows will need to navigate in unfamiliar territory.
"Never be afraid to ask dumb questions...." he said. "I've
found that dumb questions can in fact be the important ones. And I've never
had anyone say, ‘Now, that's a dumb question.' "
