Each project description begins with a beading which conveys standardized data abcut the program in a condensed form. The headings are explained on the inside front cover of this text. A narrative paragraph details the recruitment strategies, goals, methods, and insights of the project. Each paragraph closes with citations of any publications, films, or tapes created during the program, followed by the name, address, and telephone number cf someone knowledgeable about the project. The projects are arranged by grade level, and alphabetically by program title within levels. When a project crosses more than one level, it is listed with the earliest applicable grade. The title page of each section cress-references relevant projects in other sections. Indices in the back of the iccument list the states in which the projects took place, the disciplines they covered, sponsoring institutions, and their funding agencies.

Early in its history, the Committee identified as a priority the documentation of the myriad special programs that had been developed to encourage the movement of American Indian, Black, Mexican American and Puerto Rican students into careers in science, engineering and biomedicine. This project was supported by the National Science Foundation and resulted in the publication in 1976 of Programs in Science for Minority Students 1960-1975. The idea of an inventory of programs for women was inspired by the success of that publication. Much has happened since the early 1970's to focus attention on ihe problems of women in science, and funding initiatives have provided modest support for implementation oc intervention projects. The NSF Gjomen in Science Program has been a source of support for much of the ,c,tivity; but so have the gener41 women's programs such as the Women's Ed.;cational Equity Act Program, recognizing the need to move women into non-traditional careers. Certainly science, engineering and mathematics are non-traditional careers for women. As intervention programs proliferate, as the search for solutions goes on, this book will stand as an attempt to share the experiences of the women and men who have tried and failed, tried and succeeded. Its potential value extends yond this to one of perhaps serving as a source of future contacts and future networks for those already involved in activities as well as for those not yet involved. Let it also stand as a challenge for what needs yet to be done, for this project unfortunately documents exclusion which is probably unintentional but exclusion nonetheless. Minority and disabled women must be included specifically in programming for women in science - as participants, as role models, and as directors and subject of serious research on barriers to their entry into science. We believe that careful documentation and wide dissemination of information on projects already undertaken to increase participation of women in science can do much to shape future programming. It is in this spirit that this inventory of programs has been developed. S. Maria Hardy Chairperson Committee on Opportunities in Science v ACKNOWLEDGMENTS This inventory benefited from the advice of three sequential Heads of the Office of Opportunities in Science at AAAS who were with us during its creation. Janet Welsh Brown, now Executive Director of the Environmental Defense Fund, guidedus on publicizing the inventory, canvassing our "public" to find project directors, and designing the questionnaire. Rayna Diane Green, currently Director of the Native American Science Resc,.rce Centerat Dartmouth College, assisted in the search for projects, especially those relevant for minority women, and saw the questionnaire through its final revisions. Shirley Mahaley Malcom, current Head of 00S, helped in planning the editing of the entries, arranging the book, and assembling the indices and prefatory matter. To say that Roger Long "assisted" in the production is to underestimate greatly his contribution. He typed and dispatched the mailings, kept track of what materials were where, typed (and edited inso doing) the draft entries, and answered numerous telephone calls and letters from scientists and educators. Karen Ehrlich edited many of the college level entries raid took charge of the production of the book. Rachel Warner's contribution to the bibliography is mentionedon page 223; in

Nichols Professor of Communications Associate Dean for Graduates Studies and Research *Signatures are on file in the Graduate School ABSTRACT Competition and diversity are touchstones in media policy, but the relationship between them is not clear despite a great number of studies because even studies dealing with their relationship, did not measure the intensity of competition. This paper investigates the relationship between market competition and program type diversity in the over-the-air television industry. Specifically, market competition is divided into intra-network competition and intra-media competition, i.e. terrestrial television vs. cable TV. Also this paper uses a comprehensive model of program types, with 281 program type categories, which have never been used in previous studies. The results show that program type diversity keeps decreasing over time and intra-network competition has a negative effect on program type diversity. Also, intra- network competition is a more important factor on program type diversity than inter- media competition.

NAOMI ORESKES,* DALE JAMIESON,** MICHAEL OPPENHEIMER*** I. Introduction Scientists in the contemporary world have increasingly become “sentinels”,1 alerting the world to matters – such as stratospheric ozone depletion, an- thropogenic climate change, and biodiversity loss – that threaten both human well-being and the continued existence of the diverse life with which we share our planet. Although these threats are not purely matters of natural science – being rich with social, political, economic and moral dimensions – they were first identified by natural scientists, and they cannot be solved without a robust scientific understanding of their causes, character, and extent. Thus, scientists, it might seem, have an obvious role in discussing both the problems and their solutions. Yet most contemporary scientists shy away from becoming involved in articulating solutions, fearing to trespass into territory that seems to belong to others. In some cases, scientists hesitate even to explain the implications of their work in human terms – hesitating, for example, to explain why a 2-degree climate change matters – insofar as that might also lead into non- scientific territory. A major location where this tension expresses itself is in scientific assessments for policy. In an on-going research study of such assessments, we have found that participating scientists believe strongly in the existence and importance of a clear and distinct boundary between “science” and “policy.” In interviews with participants, the question of the relationship between science and policy persistently arises, and is viewed as an extremely important matter.2 * Professor, Department of the History of Science.

Approximately 100 men and women from diverse organizations (industry, governmental agencies, non-profit institutions, Federal and State agencies, public schools, special vocational schools, advisory committees, women's organizations, and universities) attended the forum. The focus of the program was primarily on secondary schools and eluployinginstitutions in that they seemed most directly related to women's occupational decisions and opportunities. The employer's contribution to the supply of women in technical and scientific occupations was perceived as the attraction and retention of women employees andcommunication and interaction with educational and other institutions. Participants emphasized that the secondary schools' objectives are not and should not be limited to occupational preparation; students need to become aware of manpower projections, demographic factors,combining family/work roles, women in the labor force, and continuing education.
