DESCRIPTION OF SELECTED ACTIVITIES OF THE
NEW JERSEY ACADEMY OF SCIENCE
•
Senior and Junior Academy Annual Meeting is held in April of each year. Over 100
scientific papers and posters are presented throughout the day. A midday plenary
session is highlighted by a keynote address by a distinguished scientist.
We publish a Newsletter and The Bulletin, a scholarly, peer reviewed journal that
welcomes contributions from many different scientific disciplines. The awardwinning student research presentations given at the annual meeting are also published
in The Bulletin. The Newsletter contains items of scientific interest, reports of
professional activities and academy announcements.
•
The Academy occasionally sponsors one of the Governor's Awards, namely the
prestigious Thomas Alva Edison Science award, which was last presented to Dr.
James L. Flanagen, Director of the Rutgers University Center for Computer Aids for
Industrial Productivity.
•
Last October the NJAS cosponsored the "Conference on improving the Scientific
Infrastructure in New Jersey" at Rutgers University in New Brunswick. More than 40
people from industry, government, and the K-12 and post secondary science
education community attended and the results of this conference have been
implemented in the NJAS Five-Year Action Plan.
•
The Grant-In-Aid Program of the Junior Academy is a valuable contribution to the
science education of many New Jersey high school students. These grants provide
funds to support student research activities. Working with an academic mentor,
students develop and submit a grant proposal to support their own research project.
The proposals are reviewed by a NJAS committee, which selects, awards and funds
the proposals based upon the merit of each, and provides constructive feedback
comments to all the applicants. The awardees work on their projects at school and,
upon completion, produce oral and poster presentations to be presented at a NJAS
Annual Meeting. These presentations are judged and the top winners are invited to
present their research projects at the national AAAS meeting. The NJAS provides a
portion of the travel expenses for these students. This past February, nine students
attended the national meeting in Boston, Massachusetts.
•
The Science for Breakfast Program of the Junior Academy, a hands-on program,
provides high school students interested in pursuing careers in science the opportunity
to,interact with professional scientists and researchers in various fields of science,
technology, research and development during roundtable discussions over breakfast.
