2014 ANNUAL REPORT 1 2014 ANNUAL REPORT | LETTER FROM H. ROBERT HORVITZ

t is a great honor to serve as the Chair of the Society’s Board of Trustees during such an exciting time. I am happy to introduce this 2014 annual report, a first for the Society, Iwhich shares a comprehensive picture of the universe of our organization with you, our dedicated supporters. As someone who has served on the Board of Trustees for nine years, I am excited about the possibilities that Maya Ajmera, our new President, CEO and Publisher, brings to the Soci- ety. A proven social entrepreneur and true visionary, Maya joined the Society in August 2014. Her history as an alumna of the Westinghouse Science Talent Search and as the founder of The Global Fund for Children makes her an exceptional fit to lead the Society into the future. The transition to a new leader was seamless, in large part because of the hard work of Chief Development and Communications Officer Rick Bates, who served as interim CEO and whose presence allowed the Trustees time to conduct our leadership search with confidence. I thank Rick and greatly appreciate his dedication to the Society. I want to deeply acknowledge the service, wisdom and loyal support of Robert Fri, a former Trustee who passed away in October. Bob served as a Trustee for 22 years, and we miss him greatly. I also want to thank Jennifer Yruegas (STS 1992, ISEF 1991, 1992), who retired as a Trustee after serving with distinction since 2004. The Society welcomed Sean B. Carroll to its Board of Trustees in 2014. Sean is the Vice President for Science Education at the Howard Hughes Medical Institute and Professor of Molecular Biology, Genetics and Medical Genetics at the University of Wisconsin–Madison. I know that Sean’s expertise will be a great addition to the Board, and I look forward to continuing to work with him. As you will see in this report, the Society is located within a universe of possibilities. We will continue to focus on our core vision — to promote the understanding and appre- ciation of science and the vital role that science plays in human advancement. In short, to inform, educate and inspire. We are exploring bold new ways to better fulfill that mission. Our work, now and in the future, is made possible by the generous support of you, our donors, alumni, subscribing members and readers. Thank you for all that you do to help the Society and for helping us promote science in this country and the world.

With best wishes,

2 SOCIETY FOR SCIENCE & THE PUBLIC 2014 ANNUAL REPORT 3 2014 ANNUAL REPORT | LETTER FROM MAYA AJMERA

rom the time I began doing research in a botany lab as a curious 13-year-old, I’ve been a science fair junkie, drawn by the amazement of discovering new things in the Fworld around me, and, as often happens, within myself. In August 2014, my urge to explore new possibilities led me to Society for Science & the Public. As an alumna of the Westinghouse Science Talent Search, it is a genuine honor to serve this distinguished and dynamic community as the Society’s President & CEO and Publisher of the award-winning magazine Science News. Organizations, as well as people, need to be curious and continue to reach upward. In 2014, the Society not only continued to thrive, but excelled. We distributed an all-time high amount of awards at our competitions, had more than 3.5 million people access the Society through our social media channels, published award-winning articles in Science News and much more. The Society continues to ensure that people around the world have access to accurate science news and that young people have the support they need to become the next generation of innovative scientists. In the coming year, we will build upon this globally-recognized and respected work to find new pathways to engage and encourage young people to find their own universe of possibilities. The Society will continue to run and expand our roster of prestigious science competitions, reach a broader audience through the Science News Media Group and fur- ther inform, educate and inspire the general public about the importance of science. I want to personally thank the Society’s Trustees for their guidance and wisdom. I am incredibly grateful to an extraordinary staff who make it all happen, especially to the “Look up at the stars executive team.

And we will never cease wonder about what being curious. We will embrace with excitement and wonder the universe of possibilities makes the universe our work entails. exist.

Thank you for all that you do to ensure the Society’s success and impact.
