Multi-disciplinary panels to discuss research that advances Toward Science Without Walls.

AAAS is committed to making the Annual Meeting an inclusive space for sharing ideas and knowledge. See our meeting policies and help us foster a safe space for all. Follow the conversations with the hastags #AAASmtg

2024 AAAS Annual Meeting takes place in Denver, CO, February 15-17. Plenary sessions and Sci-Mic Stage Chats will be streamed live. See schedule and tune in!

Annual Meeting program

Scientific Sessions: Science and technology experts assemble in small multi-disciplinary panels to discuss research that advances Toward Science Without Walls. During these 60-minute sessions, a panel of three speakers give 10-minute presentations followed by audience questions and comments. Lightning Talks: Early career researchers take the stage for ten minutes to discuss their STEM work. Workshops: Workshops are aimed at individuals seeking careers in science and engineering. Workshops are instructional and interactive in nature and are markedly different from a scientific session. Workshops may have up to 3 presenters and will be 60 minutes in length.

SCIENTIFIC SESSION, WORKSHOP, AND LIGHTNING TALK TIMELINE

March 5; 2024 theme is announced, and session submission site opens. May 4; Deadline to propose Scientific Sessions, Workshop, and Lighting Talks. May 15; Session proposal review begins with volunteer session reviewers. July; Program Committee meets for the final review to select Scientific Sessions, Workshop, and Lighting Talks. Mid-August; Scientific Session and Lightning Talk organizers receive accept/decline notifications. Mid-August; Workshop coordinators receive accept/decline notifications. Mid-October; 2023 Annual Meeting program and registration available online. February 16-17; Scientific Sessions, Workshop, and Lighting Talks take place at the 2024 AAAS Annual Meeting.

The session and workshop timeline is updated as of September 13, 2023.

Legendary U Washington bookseller Duane Wilkins is drowning in medical debt

Nearly every sf writer who's ever toured the west coast knows Duane - he's the encyclopedically knowledgeable sf buyer for the U Washington Bookseller, who has organized some of the best sf signings in Seattle history. He's a force of nature.

He's also broke. A two-week hospital stay left him drowning in medical debt - despite being insured! - and now he's being threatened by a collection agency.

Now, Duane is forced into participating in one of the most barbaric of contemporary American rituals, fundraising to cover his medical debt. He's raised $6k of the $10k he needs (I just pitched in $100).

If you can afford to help out someone who's done so much for our community, please kick Duane whatever you can spare.

"A team of researchers at Washington University in St. Louis has developed a real-time air monitor that can detect any of the SARS-CoV-2 virus variants that are present in a room in about 5 minutes.

The proof-of-concept device was created by researchers from the McKelvey School of Engineering and the School of Medicine at Washington University...

The results are contained in a July 10 publication in Nature Communications that provides details about how the technology works.

The device holds promise as a breakthrough that - when commercially available - could be used in hospitals and health care facilities, schools, congregate living quarters, and other public places to help detect not only the SARS-CoV-2 virus, but other respiratory virus aerosol such as influenza and respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) as well.

“There is nothing at the moment that tells us how safe a room is,” Cirrito said, in the university’s news release. “If you are in a room with 100 people, you don’t want to find out five days later whether you could be sick or not. The idea with this device is that you can know essentially in real time, or every 5 minutes, if there is a live virus in the air.”

How It Works

The team combined expertise in biosensing with knowhow in designing instruments that measure the toxicity of air. The resulting device is an air sampler that operates based on what’s called “wet cyclone technology.” Air is sucked into the sampler at very high speeds and is then mixed centrifugally with a fluid containing a nanobody that recognizes the spike protein from the SARS-CoV-2 virus. That fluid, which lines the walls of the sampler, creates a surface vortex that traps the virus aerosols. The wet cyclone sampler has a pump that collects the fluid and sends it to the biosensor for detection of the virus using electrochemistry.

The success of the instrument is linked to the extremely high velocity it generates - the monitor has a flow rate of about 1,000 liters per minute - allowing it to sample a much larger volume of air over a 5-minute collection period than what is possible with currently available commercial samplers. It’s also compact - about one foot wide and 10 inches tall - and lights up when a virus is detected, alerting users to increase airflow or circulation in the room.

Testing the Monitor

To test the monitor, the team placed it in the apartments of two Covid-positive patients. The real-time air samples from the bedrooms were then compared with air samples collected from a virus-free control room. The device detected the RNA of the virus in the air samples from the bedrooms but did not detect any in the control air samples.

In laboratory experiments that aerosolized SARS-CoV-2 into a room-sized chamber, the wet cyclone and biosensor were able to detect varying levels of airborne virus concentrations after only a few minutes of sampling, according to the study.

“We are starting with SARS-CoV-2, but there are plans to also measure influenza, RSV, rhinovirus and other top pathogens that routinely infect people,” Cirrito said. “In a hospital setting, the monitor could be used to measure for staph or strep, which cause all kinds of complications for patients. This could really have a major impact on people’s health.”

The Washington University team is now working to commercialize the air quality monitor."

-via Forbes, July 11, 2023

Holy shit. I know it's still early in the technology and more testing will inevitably be needed but holy shit.

Literally, if it bears out, this could revolutionize medicine. And maybe let immunocompromised people fucking go places again

Also, for those who don't know, Nature Communications is a very prestigious scientific journal that focuses on Pretty Big Deal research. Their review process is incredibly rigorous. This is an absolutely HUGE credibility boost to this research and prototype

Two-headed tortoise Janus turns 25!

Janus, who also has two hearts, two pairs of lungs and two distinct personalities, would not have survived long in the wild as he cannot retract his heads into his shell to seek shelter from predators. But at the Geneva Natural History Museum, where he hatched in 1997, Bourgoin and her team of carers - who believe he is the world's oldest bicephalic tortoise - can cater for his every need!

He is under constant surveillance in case he flips over, which could be fatal, and survived a bladder stone operation in 2020. His heads need periodic treatment with vaseline to stop them getting sore when they rub together.

His two personalities also generate different moods and tastes that can occasionally lead to conflict, for example over which direction to walk. "The right head is more curious, more awake, it has a much stronger personality. The left head is more passive and loves to eat," Bourgoin said, adding that one head was partial to endives and the other to carrots.

PANAM Physiological Sciences 2023.

The Pan-American Physiological Sciences 2023 (PANAM Physiological Sciences 2023) is the major scientific meeting in physiological and medical sciences for the Americas for 2023. This meeting is held every four years, and 2023 meeting in Chile follows 2019 in Habana, Cuba, and 2014 in Foz do Iguaçu, Brazil.

General topics will cover systems physiology & pathophysiology, cardiovascular diseases, immunology & cancer, diabetes mellitus, obesity, hypertension, respiratory and neurophysiology, free radicals & oxidative stress, vascular physiology & pathophysiology, muscle physiology & pathophysiology, renal & gastrointestinal physiology, biochemistry & biophysics behind physiology, pregnancy & programming of diseases, preterm birth, diabetes and obesity in pregnancy, endocrine & metabolism, BigData & AI in physiology, translational medicine and basic sciences, education in physiology, and lab-work in physiology.

For this event, the 2023 annual meetings of SCHCF and ALACF will coincide with PANAM Physiological Sciences 2023, taking place at the Enjoy Hotel Puerto Varas.
