WELCOME TO YEAR OF SCIENCE 2009!!

Celebrating Science in 2010


2009 is over, but our celebrations certainly are continuing! It has been a wonderful year highlighting the contributions that science makes to our lives and building collaborative connections across boundaries that often exist across our diverse scientific community. As we reflect back on the Year of Science 2009, several key words come to mind: celebrate, communicate, and collaborate! Those words have guided us in this compilation of reflections to (1) recognize the unprecedented level of collaboration among individuals and organizations contributing to make the year a collective success in elevating the voice for science, (2) extend our thanks, and (3) look toward next steps!!
