Conference on ScientificCommunication (X5)

The Conference on Scientific Com-munication has been a recurrent part ofthe annual meeting of the AAAS since1952. The original purpose of the Con-ference was to bring before the Asso-ciation some of the important problemsthat confront those who prepare scien-tific manuscripts. Subsequently, thescope was expanded to provide a forumwhere members or organizations con-cerned with all media for communi-cating scientific knowledge could meetto discuss mutual problems and to in-terchange ideas.

Those who have conducted the Con-ference on Scientific Communication atAAAS meetings for the past 10 yearswould welcome the establishment of anew AAAS section devoted to informa-tion and communication, though itwould eliminate the need for a continu-ation of the Conference. It is antici-pated that the spirit of the Conferencewould pass over into the new sectionand that all who have supported theConference would support the newsection.

Conference on ScientificManpower

The Conference on Scientific Man-power has met during the annual meet-ings of the American Association forthe Advancement of Science since the118th meeting at Philadelphia in 1951.Its objective is the recognition and con-sideration of problems involving scien-tific manpower in the fields of physical,biological, engineering, and social sci-ences.
