  • 2020 Annual Report Wow - This Has Been Quite a Year
    2020 Annual Report Wow - this has been quite a year. Our flagship event, the Atlanta Science Festival, was cancelled days after beginning. In the months that have followed, we’ve been living in a strange new reality - considering what the future holds for an organization like ours that relies so much on interaction with the public. One thing we know for sure, however, is that this time period is only heightening the importance of science for our livelihoods, crystallizing the need for the work we do. We are excited to continue thinking creatively about how to share amazing science with the Atlanta metro region, how to inspire people - young and old - to fall in love with science, and how to make sure that everyone has equitable access to science learning opportunities. While coronavirus and social justice are most present on our minds these days, building this annual report was a much needed opportunity to reflect back on the good work Science ATL has done in the community over the past year before our world turned upside down. We worked with an incredible new cohort of Georgia Chief Science Officers, we nerded out on best practices in science communication with our latest Science ATL Communication Fellows, we held some really spectacular public science events, and strengthened collaborations and CONTENTS friendships with many new and old partners also Letter from Directors.....................p 2 trying to do good in the city.

  • Decatur's Transportation Network, 2007
    3 • Decatur’s Transportation Network, 2007 CHAPTER • 3 Decatur’s Transportation Network, 2007 othing speaks louder of a city’s transportation system than how its residents use it. A public survey conducted as part of the CTP revealed that sixty-seven N percent of commuters drive alone to get to work or school. Over 20 percent of commuters in Decatur either walk, bike or take transit. Even more interesting, 79 percent of residents reported having walked or ridden a bike to downtown Decatur. Additionally, the majority of residents feel that it is easy to get around the City. These results indicate a system that already provides a lot of choice for travelers. The following sections detail the extent of these choices, i.e. the facilities that make up the existing Decatur transportation network. The CTP uses this snapshot of how Decatur gets around in 2007 to recommend how the City can build upon its existing strengths to realize its vision of a healthy and well-connected community. Existing Street Network Streets are where it all comes together for travel in and through Decatur. The streets and their edges provide places for people to walk, bicycle and travel in buses and other vehicles. Compared with the MARTA rail system and off-road paths and greenways, the street system in Decatur accommodates the majority of travel and is detailed below. Roadway Classification in Decatur In 1974, the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) published the manual Highway Functional Classification - Concepts, Criteria and Procedures. The manual was revised in 1989 and forms the basis of this roadway classification inventory.

Founding members of the organization were Agnes Scott College, the Atlanta College of Art, Columbia Theological Center, Emory University, the Georgia Institute of Technology and the University of Georgia. They formed the University Center in Georgia to share resources, avoid duplication, and facilitate collegiality among faculty. Membership continued to grow and included 19 public and private institutions of higher learning in the greater Atlanta region.

The current staff consists of an Executive Director that manages the day to day operations and corporate responsibilities of the organization. The mission of ARCHE remains to bring its members together to collaborate in these programs. Hundreds of students each year register for courses on other member campuses via ARCHE's cross registration program, which offers students the opportunity for expand their horizons in other fields of study or campus settings. ARCHE's Library Council and library programs include a interlibrary sharing program which allows members to share to the collective resources of all member libraries. ARCHE provides a van that transports library exchange items to campuses three days a week.

HR 589 acknowledges that women in the United States are more likely to die from childbirth or pregnancy-related causes than women in other high-income countries, and furthermore, Georgia is among the top 10 states with the highest maternal death rate. The resolution also recognizes that maternal deaths are a serious public health concern and have tremendous family and social impacts that affect diverse populations. HR 589 acknowledges that the Georgia Maternal Mortality Review Committee has reviewed three years of maternal death data in the state, and the data suggests that 60 percent of these deaths were preventable. Continued review of maternal deaths is recommended to understand the trends in the data, and there is a need to develop strategies and institute systemic changes to decrease and prevent maternal deaths in Georgia. House Resolution 589 provides for the membership of the committee, consisting of seven members of the House of Representatives, a minimum of two of whom shall be African American female legislators, and two members of the Georgia Maternal Mortality Review Committee appointed by the speaker of the House of Representatives.
