  • World Scientists' Warning to Humanity (1992)
    World Scientists' Warning to Humanity (1992) Human beings and the natural world are on a collision course. Human activities inflict harsh and often irreversible damage on the environment and on critical resources. If not checked, many of our current practices put at serious risk the future that we wish for human society and the plant and animal kingdoms, and may so alter the living world that it will be unable to sustain life in the manner that we know. Fundamental changes are urgent if we are to avoid the collision our present course will bring about. THE ENVIRONMENT The environment is suffering critical stress: The Atmosphere Stratospheric ozone depletion threatens us with enhanced ultraviolet radiation at the earth's surface, which can be damaging or lethal to many life forms. Air pollution near ground level, and acid precipitation, are already causing widespread injury to humans, forests, and crops. Water Resources Heedless exploitation of depletable ground water supplies endangers food production and other essential human systems. Heavy demands on the world's surface waters have resulted in serious shortages in some 80 countries, containing 40 percent of the world's population. Pollution of rivers, lakes, and ground water further limits the supply. Oceans Destructive pressure on the oceans is severe, particularly in the coastal regions which produce most of the world's food fish. The total marine catch is now at or above the estimated maximum sustainable yield. Some fisheries have already shown signs of collapse. Rivers carrying heavy burdens of eroded soil into the seas also carry industrial, municipal, agricultural, and livestock waste -- some of it toxic.

  • The National Medal of Science 2004 President’S Committee on the National Medal of Science National Science Foundation 4201 Wilson Boulevard Arlington, Virginia 22230
    THE NATIONAL MEDAL OF SCIENCE 2004 PRESIDENT’S COMMITTEE ON THE NATIONAL MEDAL OF SCIENCE NATIONAL SCIENCE FOUNDATION 4201 WILSON BOULEVARD ARLINGTON, VIRGINIA 22230 April 28, 2003 Dear Colleague: It is with great pleasure that I introduce the nomination packet for the 2004 National Medal of Science, the Nation’s highest honor for scientists and engineers presented annually by the President of the United States. The Medal was established by the 86th Congress in 1959 as a Presidential Award to be given to individuals “deserving of special recognition by reason of their outstanding contributions to knowledge in the physical, biological, mathematical, or engineering sciences.” And in 1980 Congress expanded this recognition to include the social and behavioral sciences. Since its establishment, the Medal has been awarded to 401 distinguished scientists and engineers whose careers spanned decades of research and development. The nomination procedures and guidelines, as well as instructions for submitting an electronic nomination, renomination, or support letter, are detailed in this brochure. Questions concerning the procedures or requests for additional nomination forms should be directed to the Committee’s Program Manager, Mrs. Susan E. Fannoney (703-292-8096). There are numerous younger American scientists and engineers, many of them women and minorities, now reaching the point where their contributions are worthy of recognition. Your efforts to identify worthy nominees for the Medal in this public recognition of outstanding contributions are critical to its success. On behalf of the President’s Committee on the National Medal of Science, I want to thank you in advance for those efforts. Sincerely, Rita R.

PURPURA ERTA SCHARRER, CO-FOUNDER of the discipline that has come Bto be known as neuroendocrinology, was an exemplar of science and conscience. Her long and prolific life, brack- eted by but a few years on either side of the twentieth century, is an inspiring record of scientific achievement. It is also an historical record of the triumphs and horrors and the social and political progress and perversions of this most extraordinary period. Throughout Scharrer’s sixty-five-year scientific career, she faced resistance to her unconventional ideas, prejudice against women, and personal tragedy, along with a few jackbooted thugs posing as politicians. Yet, she persevered in her bound- less quest for knowledge, advancing the bold new concept of neurosecretion and reinventing her career many times along the way. Berta’s strength, dedication, and enthusiasm touched many during her peripatetic journey through life and lives on in the colleagues, students, and other friends she has left behind.
