The Pacific Division and its affiliated societies will hold their 83rd annual meeting on the campus of the Hawai'i Preparatory Academy (HPA). Membership in AAAS or its affiliated societies is not required to participate in the meeting. All scientists, as well as graduate and undergraduate students, are invited to present their research results either orally or as posters. Anyone paying the registration fee may attend all scientific sessions as well as participate in many other activities (field trips require advance registration and payment of additional fees). Drs. William B. N. Berry and Nina G. Jablonski co-chair the organizing committee. The following societies and Pacific Division sections will sponsor symposia and/or contributed paper and poster sessions at the meeting: o Agriculture and Horticultural Sciences Section o Anthropology & Archaeology Section o Atmospheric & Oceanographic Section o Biological Sciences Section
o Chemistry Section o Computer & Information Sciences Section o Earth Sciences Section
o Ecology & Environmental Sciences Section o Education Section o Engineering & Industrial Sciences Section o Health Sciences Section o History & Philosophy of Science Section o Mathematics Section o Psychology Section o Social, Economic & Political Sciences Section
Meeting RoomsThis year's sessions will be held at the HPA. Meeting rooms will be equipped with a 35mm slide projector and an overhead projector. Speakers requiring other specialized equipment must make their requests on the e-mail abstract submission form. Specialized equipment, such as VHS/TV, will be provided if available. Computers and computer-projection equipment rental incur additional costs, which are the responsibility of the speaker, and subject to equipment availability. A Speaker’s Preview Room, with projection equipment, will be open during the meeting. The meeting rooms and presentation time schedule will be published in the "Program with Abstracts" issue of the Proceedings (vol. 21, pt. 1), which will be available to those who have registered for the meetings. Speakers will receive final confirmation of the time and place of their presentations via e-mail at least three weeks prior to the meeting.
Poster SessionsPosters will be assigned a display space of 4 ft. x 4 ft. (1.2 x 1.2 m). Where necessary and with notification by May 14, 2001, two adjacent display spaces (4 ft. x 8 ft.) can be assigned to one poster. E-mail your request to aaaspd@sou.edu, or call 541-552-6869. Posters will be grouped by discipline and subject matter. Each presenter will be given at least two hours for poster display although more time may be available. Presenters should set up their posters 15 minutes before the beginning of their presentation session and are expected to be available to discuss their work for at least an hour when their poster is on display. Posters should be removed within 15 minutes of the close of the session. Student posters will be judged for awards of excellence. With the permission of Dr. Carol Waite Conner and the Geological Society of America, the Pacific Division has reprinted Dr. Conner’s article, "The Poster Session: A Guide for Preparation." A copy of this helpful article is available on this website—just click here.
For Teachers, K-14The AAAS:Pacific Division is pleased to offer teachers symposia and workshops specifically organized to meet both their classroom needs and to introduce them to new and exciting materials and techniques. Teachers (K-12 and Community College) who plan to attend the meetings may pre-register at the reduced professional rate of $40 ($50 on-site). The Division’s Education Section seeks their participation in its sessions to share their knowledge and innovative methodologies with their colleagues. To this end, contributed paper and poster sessions are being planned. Teachers attending the annual meeting can receive, on request, a certificate of attendance from the Pacific Division.
Student Awards for ExcellenceThe AAAS: Pacific Division offers each affiliated society and section participating in the annual meeting an opportunity to recognize outstanding student participants through the presentation of certificates of merit and cash prizes of $175 for first place and $100 for second place. Several societies may supplement these awards with their own cash prizes and certificates. In 2002, six Division-wide awards will be given: Laurence M. Klauber Award for Excellence (unrestricted); Geraldine K. Lindsay Award for Excellence in the Natural Sciences; J. Thomas Dutro, Jr. Award for Excellence in the Geosciences; Presidents’ Award for Excellence (unrestricted); Best Poster Award (for poster presentations only but otherwise unrestricted); and the AAAS-Robert I. Larus Travel Award, which provides for travel and other expenses for the awardee to attend the 2002 annual meeting of AAAS. The Klauber, Lindsay, Dutro, Presidents’, Best Poster, and Larus awards are given to those students whose presentations are judged the most significant in the advancement or understanding of science. Eligible students must: 1) register for the meeting, 2) present the paper or poster, and 3) be the principal research investigator. Student presentations, oral and poster, are judged on their abstracts, content, style of delivery or presentation, and audio-visual aids and/or handouts (if used). The evaluation forms (oral and poster) are posted on this web site; click here. Students who register for the meetings and present papers will be the Division’s guests at the Awards Dinner.
