Start e-mail: [email protected] Interim Superintendent January 2020 Thank you for choosing Kalamazoo Public Schools (KPS) for your high school career. It is an outstanding school district that offers many opportunities for students. I know that you will be able to find courses in this bulletin that will be meaningful to you in 2020-21, and will continue to benefit you after you graduate. I am proud of Kalamazoo Public Schools students. Every academic indicator has risen over the last several years. In addition, the number of Kalamazoo Public Schools graduates continue to increase. Last summer, 715 students graduated from KPS high schools. This is a 57 percent increase from the 454 students that graduated from KPS in June of 2005. KPS students are also taking harder courses and doing better in harder courses. Since 2007, the number of students taking Advanced Placement (AP) courses has increased by 133 percent. During the same time period, the number of African American or multi-ethnic students taking AP courses has risen by 183 percent. The number of economically disadvantaged students taking AP courses has increased by 332 percent. The number of Hispanic students taking AP courses has increased by 1438 percent. For seven consecutive years, the percentage of AP tests earning college credit has increased. Upon graduation, most of you will be able to enjoy the benefits of the Kalamazoo Promise. The generous Kalamazoo Promise donors continue to make this amazing gift to KPS graduates. Last year alone, the Kalamazoo Promise paid over $16.4 million in tuition and fees on behalf of KPS graduates. Since its inception in 2005, over 6,100 KPS graduates have benefited from the Kalamazoo Promise. Because of the Kalamazoo Promise, as well as the many improvements to opportunities for students, the district’s enrollment continues to grow. In fact, it has increased by over 2,600 students and 26 percent since 2005. I wish you an outstanding educational experience for the 2020-21 school year. Sincerely, Gary L.

  • Mothers in Science
    The aim of this book is to illustrate, graphically, that it is perfectly possible to combine a successful and fulfilling career in research science with motherhood, and that there are no rules about how to do this. On each page you will find a timeline showing on one side, the career path of a research group leader in academic science, and on the other side, important events in her family life. Each contributor has also provided a brief text about their research and about how they have combined their career and family commitments. This project was funded by a Rosalind Franklin Award from the Royal Society 1 Foreword It is well known that women are under-represented in careers in These rules are part of a much wider mythology among scientists of science. In academia, considerable attention has been focused on the both genders at the PhD and post-doctoral stages in their careers. paucity of women at lecturer level, and the even more lamentable The myths bubble up from the combination of two aspects of the state of affairs at more senior levels. The academic career path has academic science environment. First, a quick look at the numbers a long apprenticeship. Typically there is an undergraduate degree, immediately shows that there are far fewer lectureship positions followed by a PhD, then some post-doctoral research contracts and than qualified candidates to fill them. Second, the mentors of early research fellowships, and then finally a more stable lectureship or career researchers are academic scientists who have successfully permanent research leader position, with promotion on up the made the transition to lectureships and beyond.

In response, this paper investigates 2,448,055 citations to 2,299 English-language highly-cited documents from 252 GS subject categories published in 2006, comparing GS, the WoS Core Collection, and Scopus. GS consistently found the largest percentage of citations across all areas (93%-96%), far ahead of Scopus (35%-77%) and WoS (27%-73%). GS found nearly all the WoS (95%) and Scopus (92%) citations. Most citations found only by GS were from non-journal sources (48%-65%), including theses, books, conference papers, and unpublished materials. Many were non-English (19%- 38%), and they tended to be much less cited than citing sources that were also in Scopus or WoS. Despite the many unique GS citing sources, Spearman correlations between citation counts in GS and WoS or Scopus are high (0.78-0.99). They are lower in the Humanities, and lower between GS and WoS than between GS and Scopus. The results suggest that in all areas GS citation data is essentially a superset of WoS and Scopus, with substantial extra coverage.

Selected bibliography PREFACE This report was prepared by an ad hoc group under the chairmanship of Dr W.F. Bodmer, F.R.S.; it has been endorsed by the Council of the Royal Society. It deals with an issue that is important not only, or even mainly, for the scientific community but also for the nation as a whole and for each individual within it. More than ever, people need some understanding of science, whether they are involved in decision-making at a national or local level, in managing industrial companies, in skilled or semi-skilled employment, in voting as private citizens or in making a wide range of personal decisions. In publishing this report the Council hopes that it will highlight this need for an overall awareness of the nature of science and, more particularly, of the way that science and technology pervade modern life, and that it will generate both debate and decisions on how best they can be fostered. The report makes a number of recommendations.

  • The Making of the National Geographic: Science, Culture, and Expansionism
    jpn>w^sr"-ip ' & -a&^SSQ'wi The Making of the National Geographic: Science, Culture, and Expansionism Susan Schulten ... if Cuba and Puerto Rico, Alaska and Hawaii, and Luzon and her neighbors do not make America the fore­ most naval and shipping nation of the earth within a quarter-century, then experience stands for naught, history is a delusion, civilization a failure, and enlightenment a farce. W.J. McGee, Vice-President of the National Geographic Society, 18991 Five days before Christmas, in 1905, the National Geographic Society held an elaborate dinner in Washington, D.C. With over 200 guests—including explorers, diplomats, senators and congressmen—the Society was celebrating a membership that had grown from 3,400 to 11,000 in that year alone. The Society ' s President, Willis Moore, attributed this success to the character of its members, "the thinking, intellectual people of this city, of the nation, and somewhat from all nations—those who wish to keep abreast with the thought and activities of the world at large." For Moore, the public's interest in geography—as defined by the Society—fed the intellectual wealth of American civilization, which had since 1898 broken beyond its continental confines and "leaped forward from this island to that, [until] today we find the free institutions of this country planted at the very doors of the Orient." In turn, the nation's new role abroad intensified the need for the Society to translate the meaning of these changes, to illuminate "the world and all that is in it." The evening's guest of honor, Secretary of War William Howard 0026-3079/2000/4101-005$2.50/0 American Studies, 41:1 (Spring 2000): 5-29 5 6 Susan Schulten Taft, affirmed Moore's convictions by exalting the nation's great territorial and commercial gains, which sought "only to produce peace and prosperity the world around."2 By 1905 the survival of the National Geographic Society was assured.
