2015 ANNUAL REPORT | TABLE OF CONTENTS EXPANDING HORIZONS 2015 ANNUAL REPORT 2015 ANNUAL REPORT | TABLE OF CONTENTS 2015 ANNUAL REPORT | TABLE OF CONTENTS Science News | DECEMBER 26, 2015 PLUTO COMES INTO VIEW — COVER The New Horizons mission to Pluto (shown in false color) took the top spot on Science News’ list of the most important science stories of the year. Throughout 2015, SN kept readers abreast of the mission’s milestones, including live coverage from mission control as the probe reached its destination. And in more than two dozen stories, SN reporters explained how New Horizons’ voluminous amounts of data are redefining our understanding of the beloved dwarf planet. Table of contents Science News | JUNE 27, 2015 OCTOPUS SKIN CAN ‘SEE’ The California two-spot octopus (hatchling shown above) can detect light with its skin — no eyes or brain required — and respond with a color-change display. As bizarre as that feat sounds, it was not totally unexpected, as Science News explained. The story was just the latest in SN’s ongoing coverage of visual experiments that are expanding how biologists define what it means to see.

ROBERT HORVITZ I t is an honor to serve as the Chair of the Society’s Board of Trustees during this time of expanding horizons. I am happy to introduce this 2015 Annual Report, which shares a comprehensive picture of the organization with you, our dedicated supporters. As someone who has been on the board for ten years, I have been delighted as the Society has not only continued to excel at its core programs, but also built upon those efforts to expand into new directions. We continue to be at the forefront of breaking scientific news, such as by reporting the New Horizons mission to Pluto, which inspired our annual report theme. Science News and Science News for Students continue to win prestigious journalism awards for their exceptional coverage. We were pleased to announce in October that the Society’s Broadcom MASTERS competition will continue to be funded through our partnership with the Broadcom Foundation. This important commitment extends through our 100th anniversary in 2021 and ensures Broadcom MASTERS remains the premier national STEM competition for sixth, seventh and eighth graders for years to come. As you will see in the pages of this Annual Report, by expanding our horizons, we are making even more of an impact. We continue to focus on our core vision of promoting the understanding and appreciation of science and the vital role it plays in human advancement: to inform, educate and inspire. Under Maya Ajmera’s first full year of visionary leadership, the Society’s horizons have grown in the overall scale of the organization, our focus on a collaborative team culture, ensuring the continued prestige of the Society’s core programming and a new and exciting focus on outreach and equity, which is markedly increasing the number of young people accessing the valuable resources of the Society. We look forward to continuing to build upon our successes in the years to come. I personally thank the Board of Trustees for working hard to constantly ensure the success of the Society in achieving our important goals. I extend a special thank-you to Michela English, who retired as a Trustee after serving with distinction since 2008, including most recently as the Executive Committee, At-Large member. Our work, now and in the future, is made possible by the generous support of you, the Society’s subscribing members, donors, alumni and readers. Thank you for all that you do. We look forward to continuing our successes and growth in 2016. Sincerely yours, H. Robert Horvitz Chair, Board of Trustees Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine, 2002 Professor of Biology, Massachusetts Institute of Technology Investigator, Howard Hughes Medical Institute Member, MIT McGovern Institute for Brain Research Member, MIT Koch Institute for Integrative Cancer Research 2 SOCIETY FOR SCIENCE & THE PUBLIC Science News for Students | MAY 22, 2015 THE MICROBES INSIDE US An explosion of research in recent years has revealed the surprisingly big influence that microbes living in the body have on health and behavior. Science News for Students surveyed some of this cuttingedge work, including a study that showed that mice (and presumably people, too) need bacteria to develop normal bloodbrain barriers. In bacteria-free mice (like the one above left), the blood-brain barrier allowed a dye (yellow) to accumulate in the brain. 2015 ANNUAL REPORT 3 2015 ANNUAL REPORT | LETTER FROM MAYA AJMERA Science News | MARCH 7, 2015 I am pleased to present our 2015 Annual Report — Expanding Horizons — which represents my first full year as President & CEO of the Society for Science & the Public and Publisher of Science News. It has been an exciting year at the Society. We awarded more than $6 million to deserving middle and high school students from the United States and around the world. In 2015, we expanded our partnership with the Broadcom Foundation through the Society’s 100th anniversary in 2021, ensuring that Broadcom MASTERS remains the premier national STEM competition for sixth, seventh and eighth graders. We certainly expanded our horizons by adding new programming to intentionally ICEBERG FLIPS OVER What looks like a glassy blue mountain rising out of the ocean is actually an upside-down iceberg. About 90 percent of an iceberg’s bulk stays hidden beneath the water. But every once in a while, after calving off a glacier or melting unevenly, an iceberg topples over, exposing its pristine underbelly. This stunning photograph, taken off the coast of Antarctica, was featured in a Science News story about the rare event. ensure that more students and underserved communities would be impacted by our work by piloting the Science News in High Schools program and Advocate Grant Program in 2015, along with running the Society’s first ever Science Talent Search Research Teachers Conference. This new emphasis on outreach and equity has already impacted thousands of teachers and hundreds of thousands of students in the United States and around the world. We did more than ever to reach out to our talented alumni, holding nine events in eight cities, including our first ever Alumni Signature Event that took place in Boston. With these events, the Society had the opportunity to personally meet more than 600 alumni. Throughout the pages of this annual report, you will see incredible images from Science News and Science News for Students stories from 2015. These pictures illustrate how scientific discoveries continue to expand our understanding of the world around us. They show how, more than ever, it is important that the Society bring accurate scientific coverage to the world. I want to personally thank our thousands of judges and volunteers who support the work of the Society with their extraordinary commitment to our science competitions. The depth and breadth of the Society’s work is only possible due to its exceptional team, who bring to life our vision every day. Additionally, I am grateful to the Board of Trustees for their steadfast stewardship of our storied institution. Just as science is ever changing and expanding, we will continue to find ways to reach additional audiences with accurate scientific news and to support new generations of talented students at the beginning of their scientific careers. None of this would be possible without your generous support. We look forward to continuing to connect with you in 2016. Thank you for all that you do to ensure the Society’s success and impact.

Measurements from NASA’s MAVEN probe suggest that Mars loses 100 grams of atmosphere every second. In this simulation of the Martian atmosphere, described in Science News, colored streaks represent lost gas molecules. Unlike Earth, Mars has no magnetic field to protect its atmosphere from charged particles streaming from the sun.

In October, Annie Ostojic, of Munster, Ind., was named the top winner of the 2015 competition for her design of a more energy efficient microwave. The Society hosted its first Science Talent Search Research Teachers Conference, bringing 100 teachers to Washington, D.C., to discuss how to start a research program and get underrepresented students involved. It was a first chance for some to meet fellow research teachers. The Society launched the Science News in High Schools program. More than 270 schools in 25 states, as well as Washington, D.C., Australia and the United Kingdom, gained free access to Science News. Science News celebrated the 100th anniversary of Einstein's general theory of relativity with a special story collection. A blog post unearthed Science News Letter’s role in convincing Einstein to take gravitational lensing seriously. The Society introduced the Advocate Grant Program in 2015, which supports adult mentors who guide underrepresented students engaged in science research projects through the process of applying to competitions. 2015 ANNUAL REPORT 7 2015 ANNUAL REPORT | INTEL SCIENCE TALENT SEARCH 2015 ANNUAL REPORT | INTEL SCIENCE TALENT SEARCH Nation’s top student researchers and innovators The Science Talent Search (STS), a program of Society for First Place Medal of Distinction for Basic Research, which Science & the Public, launched in 1942 and sponsored recognizes finalists who demonstrate exceptional scientific by Intel since 1998, is the nation’s oldest and most highly potential through depth of research and analysis.

A growing number of neuroscientists are finding hints that the brain’s blood supply actually controls neurons — at least to some degree. Redefining blood’s role has implications beyond just updating textbooks, Science News reported. Deciphering the blood-brain relationship — and what happens when things go awry — may help researchers find the root cause of brain disorders such as Alzheimer’s disease.
