Annual MeetingDenver Meeting Program-Part I

20-25 February 1977

For further details, see the Preliminary Program, Science, 5 November, pages 599 to 608, and Tours and Cultural Events,Science, 19 November, pages 827 and 828.HOTEL CODES: Denver Hilton . . . DH; Holiday Inn . . . HI; Cosmopolitan . . . CO.

For the 143rd time in its 128-year history, the AAAS willmeet nationally to discuss the latest developments in allbranches of science and technology, the manner in whichthese developments interrelate, and their impact on society.This is the fourth such Meeting in Denver, the gateway to theRockies and the American West, and it is fitting that many ofthe topics to be considered have particular significance for thisregion of the country: the problems in resource devel-opment-particularly for energy, its implications for land useand the environment, and the further implications for socialgoals and human values, to mention just one area of concern.

Listed below are the symposia which make up the firsthalf of the scientific program, 55 in all, grouped by categoryinto general interest, physical and mathematical sciences, ener-gy, resource policy, biological science, agriculture and ecol-ogy, environment, and arid lands (a particularly importantsouthwestern problem). (The remaining 66 symposia will belisted in the 17 December issue of Science.) Look it over; weare sure that you will find many things that you must knowabout and want to discuss with us.

Featured, along with the scientific program, are manytours and events which allow you to sample the scientific andcultural wealth of the Greater Denver area (see the listing inScience, 19 November, pages 827 and 828), in particular, itsmagnificent opportunities for winter recreation, which youmight wish to sample just after the Meeting. Come to Denver;it is a wonderful opportunity for you and your family to expandall of your horizons; join us atyour Annual Meeting.
