ANNUALMEETING

2014AAAS

Dear Colleagues,

On behalf of the AAAS Board of Directors, it is my honor to

invite you to join us in Chicago for the 2014 AAAS Annual

Meeting, 13-17 February. This annual event is one of the most

widely recognized global science gatherings, with hundreds

of diverse scientifc sessions and communication opportuni-

ties with broad U.S. and international media coverage.

This year’s theme—Meeting Global Challenges: Discovery and Innovation—

will focus on fnding sustainable solutions through inclusive, international,

and interdisciplinary eMorts that are most useful to society and enhance

economic growth.

Scientifc discovery and innovation are driving solutions to current and

future global challenges, including sufcient food, quality healthcare,

renewable fuels, and a sustainable environment. Addressing these

challenges depends upon international dialogue and discoveries emerging

from the convergence of physical, life, engineering, and social sciences

in innovative ways that are most useful to society. The scientifc program

will highlight the increasing interdependence of economic progress and

advances in science and technology.

Everyone is welcome at the AAAS Annual Meeting. Those who attend will have

the opportunity to choose among a broad range of activities, including plenary

and topical lectures by some of the world’s leading scientists and engineers,

multidisciplinary symposia, cutting-edge seminars, career development

workshops, and an international exhibition. You and your family can also

enjoy Family Science Days, a free event open to the public.

The Annual Meeting reflects tremendous eMorts from the AAAS sections,

divisions, and committees. I also acknowledge the members of the Scientifc

Program Committee who selected and assembled the many excellent ideas

and proposals into this outstanding meeting.

We look forward to seeing you in Chicago.

President’s Address

Thursday, 13 February

Phillip A. SharpInstitute Professor, KochInstitute for IntegrativeCancer Research,Massachusetts Institute ofTechnology

Dr. Sharp, a noted molecu-lar biologist with a focus on the geneticcauses of cancer, shared the 1993 NobelPrize in Physiology or Medicine for hisdiscovery of “split genes”—the fnd-ing that genes could be composed ofseveral separate segments within DNA.His lab now focuses on the therapeuticpotential of RNA interference, small RNAmolecules that can switch genes on andoR. He has co-founded two companies:Biogen (now Biogen Idec) and AlnylamPharmaceuticals. He received a Ph.D. inchemistry from the University of Illinoisat Urbana-Champaign and is an electedmember of the National Academy ofSciences, the Institute of Medicine,AAAS, the American Academy of Arts andSciences, the American PhilosophicalSociety, and a foreign fellow of the RoyalSociety (U.K.).

Plenary Speakers

Friday, 14 February

Steven ChuProfessor of Physics andMolecular and CellularPhysiology, StanfordUniversity

How Discovery and Innovation CanMeetOur Energy Challenge

Dr. Chu served as the 12th U.S. Secretaryof Energy between January 2009 andApril 2013. Prior to his post in PresidentObama’s Cabinet, he was the director ofLawrence Berkeley National Laboratory

and a professor at University of California,Berkeley. He had previously worked atStanford University and Bell Laboratories.Chu is the co-recipient of the NobelPrize for Physics (1997) for his contribu-tions to the laser cooling and trappingof atoms. His other areas of researchinclude tests of fundamental theories inphysics, atom interferometry, study ofpolymers and biological systems at thesingle molecule level, and biomedicalresearch. The holder of 10 patents, Chuhas published 250 scientiOc and technicalpapers. Chu is a member of the NationalAcademy of Sciences, the AmericanPhilosophical Society, the Royal Academyof Engineering, the Academia Sinica,and the Korean Academy of Sciencesand Technology, an honorary member ofthe Institute of Physics and the ChineseAcademy of Sciences, and a LifetimeMember of the Optical Society of America.He received a bachelor’s degree in phys-ics from the University of Rochester anda Ph.D. in physics from the University ofCalifornia, Berkeley.

Alan AldaVisiting Professor ofJournalism, Stony BrookUniversity

Getting Beyond a Blind Date with Science

Alan Alda is an actor, writer, director, and

visiting professor at the Alan Alda Center

for Communicating Science at Stony Brook

University, where he helps current and

future scientists learn to communicate

more clearly and vividly with the public.

In collaboration with theater arts faculty

at Stony Brook, he is pioneering the use

of improvisational theater exercises to

help scientists connect more directly with

people outside their Oeld. Alda is best

known for his award-winning work in mov-

ies, theater, and television, but he also

has a distinguished record in the public

communication of science. For 13 years he

hosted the PBS series ScientiOc American

Frontiers, which he has called “the best

thing I ever did in front of a camera.” Aaer

interviewing hundreds of scientists around

the world, he became convinced that many

researchers have wonderful stories but

need to learn how to tell them better. That

realization inspired the creation of Stony

Brook’s multidisciplinary Alan Alda Center

for Communicating Science in 2009.

Sunday, 16 February

Susan LindquistProfessor of Biology,Massachusetts Institute ofTechnology

From Yeast Cells to Patient Neurons: APowerful Discovery Platform forParkinson’s and Alzheimer’s Diseases

Dr. Lindquist is a pioneer in understanding

protein folding, showing that these chang-

es can have profound and unexpected

influences in human disease, evolution,

and nanotechnology. She is a member

of the Whitehead Institute, where she

served as director from 2001 to 2004, and

a Howard Hughes Medical Institute inves-

tigator. Previously she was a professor of

medical sciences and molecular biology

at University of Chicago. Lindquist is an

elected fellow of the American Academy of

Arts and Sciences, the National Academy

of Sciences, the Institute of Medicine, and

the American Philosophical Society. She

is a recipient of the Novartis/Drew Award

for Biomedical Research, the Dickson

Prize in Medicine, the Sigma Xi William

SeminarsThursday, 13 February

Communicating ScienceScientifc and technological issues increas-

ingly trigger societal conflicts whenever

they intersect with personal or political

views. Today’s scientists and engineers are

challenged to communicate and engage

with the public and journalists, particularly

amid pressures on research and develop-

ment budgets and related concerns about

transparency and accountability. This

seminar will share science communication

expertise in working with diferent types of

content, across a range of formats, for vari-

ous audiences.
