SCIENCE JOURNALS AND NEWSSCIENCE IS ONE OF THE WORLD'S LEADING OUTLETS FOR SCIENTIFIC NEWS, COMMENTARY, AND CUTTING-EDGE RESEARCH, WITH THE LARGEST PAID CIRCULATION OF ANY PEER-REVIEWED GENERAL-SCIENCE JOURNAL. THROUGH ITS PRINT AND ONLINE INCARNATIONS, SCIENCE REACHES AN ESTIMATED WORLDWIDE READERSHIP OF MORE THAN ONE MILLION. IN CONTENT, THE JOURNAL IS TRULY INTERNATIONAL IN SCOPE: SOME 35 TO 40 PERCENT OF THE CORRESPONDING AUTHORS ON ITS PAPERS ARE BASED OUTSIDE THE UNITED STATES. AND ITS ARTICLES CONSISTENTLY RANK AMONG WORLD'S MOST CITED RESEARCH. IN 2020, FACING THE URGENT GLOBAL HEALTH THREAT OF COVID-19, AAAS AND THE SCIENCE FAMILY OF JOURNALS MOVED QUICKLY TO HELP LEAD THE FIGHT TO SPEED RESEARCH RELATED TO THE VIRUS AND TO KEEP THE SCIENTIFIC COMMUNITY, POLICYMAKERS, JOURNALISTS AND THE PUBLIC INFORMED WITH UPDATED AND POTENTIALLY LIFESAVING INFORMATION. WE PROVIDED EVIDENCE-BASED RESEARCH AND A WEALTH OF INFORMATIONAL RESOURCES THROUGH PUBLICATIONS, STATEMENTS AND VIRTUAL EVENTS. AND THROUGHOUT THE YEAR, IN ITS NEWS SECTION, SCIENCE TACKLED THE FULL RANGE OF COVID-19 NEWS UPDATES AND ISSUES SURROUNDING THE PANDEMIC.THE SCIENCE FAMILY OF JOURNALS INCLUDES SCIENCE SIGNALING, THE LEADING JOURNAL OF CELL SIGNALING AND REGULATORY BIOLOGY; SCIENCE TRANSLATIONAL MEDICINE, INTEGRATING MEDICINE, ENGINEERING AND SCIENCE TO PROMOTE HUMAN HEALTH; SCIENCE ADVANCES, AN INNOVATIVE AND HIGH-QUALITY OPEN ACCESS JOURNAL FOR ALL THE SCIENCES; SCIENCE IMMUNOLOGY, RESEARCH ARTICLES THAT REPORT CRITICAL ADVANCES IN ALL AREAS OF IMMUNOLOGICAL RESEARCH, INCLUDING IMPORTANT NEW TOOLS AND TECHNIQUES; AND SCIENCE ROBOTICS, ORIGINAL, PEER-REVIEWED, SCIENCE- OR ENGINEERING-BASED RESEARCH ARTICLES THAT ADVANCE THE FIELD OF ROBOTICS.

SCIENCE INFORMING POLICYAAAS WORKS TO BRING EVIDENCE-BASED INFORMATION TO THE POLICY DECISIONS THAT SHAPE OUR WORLD. A RANGE OF PROGRAMS COMMUNICATES THE STANCE OF AAAS ON CRITICAL SOCIETAL ISSUES, HELPS SCIENTISTS AND ENGINEERS ENGAGE WITH DECISIONMAKERS AND PROVIDES THEM WITH DISTILLED SCIENTIFIC INFORMATION ON THE MANY SCIENCE-RELATED TOPICS THEY ENCOUNTER. AAAS PROGRAMS ALSO HELP SCIENTISTS AND ENGINEERS ADVOCATE FOR THE FUNDING AND CONDITIONS NECESSARY FOR A ROBUST SCIENTIFIC ENTERPRISE.FOR 47 YEARS, THE AAAS SCIENCE & TECHNOLOGY POLICY FELLOWSHIPS PROGRAM HAS PLACED THOUSANDS OF OUTSTANDING SCIENTISTS AND ENGINEERS IN THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT TO BETTER UNDERSTAND THE FEDERAL POLICYMAKING PROCESS AND TO BE PREPARED TO DEVELOP AND EXECUTE SOLUTIONS TO ADDRESS SOCIETAL CHALLENGES. TODAY, THE PROGRAM PLACES NEARLY 300 FELLOWS EACH YEAR IN CONGRESSIONAL OFFICES, FEDERAL AGENCIES, AND THE JUDICIAL BRANCH OF THE GOVERNMENT.THE AAAS CENTER FOR SCIENTIFIC EVIDENCE IN PUBLIC ISSUES OR EPI CENTER, WHICH DISTILLS SCIENTIFIC INFORMATION FOR POLICYMAKERS, FOCUSED ON CRITICAL ISSUES IN 2020 - FROM GREEN INFRASTRUCTURE TO DRINKING WATER CONTAMINANTS TO ELECTION SECURITY. AS ELECTION OFFICIALS PREPARED FOR THE NOVEMBER ELECTION AMID THE RAGING PANDEMIC, THE EPI CENTER MADE SURE THE OFFICIALS WERE AWARE THAT INTERNET VOTING REMAINS VULNERABLE TO MANIPULATION AND PRIVACY INVASIONS, ACCORDING TO EXTENSIVE VALIDATED RESEARCH. THE EPI CENTER JOINED OTHER ORGANIZATIONS AND EXPERTS TO SHARE THE SCIENTIFIC EVIDENCE ON INTERNET VOTING WITH GOVERNORS, SECRETARIES OF STATE AND ELECTION DIRECTORS THROUGHOUT THE COUNTRY.THE AAAS LOCAL SCIENCE ENGAGEMENT NETWORK IS SETTING UP NETWORKS IN STATES ACROSS THE COUNTRY TO ASSIST COMMUNITIES AND STATE POLICYMAKERS IN IMPLEMENTING EFFECTIVE SOLUTIONS TO CHALLENGES RAISED BY CLIMATE CHANGE. WORKING WITH PARTNERS IN MISSOURI, COLORADO, MAINE, AND GEORGIA, THE NETWORK AIMS TO INTEGRATE SCIENTISTS WITH LOCAL AND STATE POLICYMAKERS, COMMUNITY STAKEHOLDERS, AND THE PUBLIC TO LEVERAGE SCIENTIFIC EVIDENCE AND INFORM EFFORTS TO ADVANCE REGIONAL RESPONSES TO THESE CRITICAL CLIMATE ISSUES.AAAS IS A LEADING SOURCE FOR DATA AND TIMELY ANALYSIS OF TRENDS IN U.S. FEDERAL RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT (R&D) FUNDING. SINCE 1976, WE HAVE SERVED AS A GO-TO RESOURCE FOR THOSE SEEKING TO UNDERSTAND LONG-TERM CHANGES AND RECENT POLICY DEVELOPMENTS AFFECTING FEDERAL SCIENCE BUDGETS. EACH YEAR WE ANALYZE THE U.S. PRESIDENT'S BUDGET REQUEST, MONITOR CONGRESSIONAL DEBATES AND BILLS, AND KEEP AN EYE ON LONGER-TERM R&D BUDGET TRENDS IN THE UNITED STATES AND IN OTHER COUNTRIES TO PROVIDE TIMELY AND OBJECTIVE INFORMATION AND PERSPECTIVES FOR POLICYMAKERS AND THE SCIENCE AND ENGINEERING COMMUNITY.GOLDEN GOOSE AWARDS, FOUNDED BY AAAS AND OTHER ORGANIZATIONS, RECOGNIZE FEDERALLY FUNDED BASIC SCIENCE INVESTIGATIONS THAT MAY HAVE SOUNDED ODD OR OBSCURE BUT HAVE RESULTED IN CONSIDERABLE BENEFITS TO SOCIETY. IN 2020, THE WINNERS WERE HONORED FOR THEIR CONTRIBUTIONS TO COVID-19 RESEARCH.THE CATALYZING ADVOCACY IN SCIENCE AND ENGINEERING WORKSHOP WENT ONLINE DURING THE PANDEMIC TO URGE UNDERGRADUATE AND GRADUATE STUDENTS IN THE SCIENCES TO ADVOCATE FOR POLICIES THAT STRENGTHEN THE SCIENTIFIC ENTERPRISE. IN 2020, THE PRESENTATION NOT ONLY OUTLINED SPECIFIC TOPICS NEEDING ADVOCACY BY THE EARLY-CAREER SCIENTISTS, BUT ALSO OFFERED TIPS ON HOW TO BEST ENGAGE VIRTUALLY. BECAUSE THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC PAUSED SCIENTIFIC RESEARCH AT FEDERAL LABORATORIES AND UNIVERSITIES, UNDERGRADUATE AND GRADUATE STUDENTS IN STEM WERE URGED TO HELP PUSH FOR POLICIES THAT WILL ENSURE FUNDING WILL BE SUFFICIENT WHEN RESEARCH CAN SAFELY RESUME.
