2011 AAAS Annual Meeting Science Without Borders 17–21 February, Washington, D.C.

CURRENT AS OF 1 NOVEMBER 2010 1 2011 AAAS Annual Meeting Science Without Borders

Dear Colleagues, On behalf of the AAAS Board of Directors, it is my distinct honor to invite you to the 177th Meeting of the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS). The Annual Meeting is one of the most widely recognized pan-science events, with hundreds of networking oppor- tunities and broad global media coverage. An exceptional array of speakers and attendees will gather at the Walter E. Washington Convention Center in Washington, D.C. You will have the opportunity to interact with scientists, engineers, educators, and policy-makers who will present the latest thinking and developments in their areas of expertise. The meeting’s theme — Science Without Borders — integrates interdisciplinary science, across both research and teaching, that utilizes diverse approaches as well as the diversity of its practitioners. The program will highlight science and teaching that cross conventional borders or break out from silos, especially in ground-breaking areas of research that highlight new and exciting developments in support of science, technology, and education. Sessions will feature strong scientific content to illustrate the interface of different disciplines or will exemplify a multidisciplinary approach to problem solving. Everyone is welcome at the AAAS Annual Meeting. Those who join us 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. The following pages present the highlights of the scientific program to date. You can explore the program online, obtain updates, and develop a personal itinerary at www.aaas.org/meetings. To register online and obtain more information about the Newsroom, visit www.eurekalert.org/aaasnewsroom. I look forward to welcoming you in Washington, D.C. Alice S. Huang, Ph.D., AAAS President and Senior Faculty Associate in Biology, California Institute of Technology
