Annals - NYAS - Page 4

Articles, news, and commentary on scientific developments of social and cultural interest…, “a continuing feast for the mind and the eye,” The Sciences magazine was a unique forum for examining issues in all areas of science. Winner of seven National Magazine Awards, The Sciences was published from 1961 to 2001. All 41 volumes are available online; access through the Wiley Online Library is free for Academy Members and subscribing libraries and available on a pay-per-view basis for others. Tables of contents and abstracts may be viewed by all.

Beginning in 2022, the virtual issue content published below has been commissioned in the spirit of the The Sciences magazine for publication as a front-half section of Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences. Each article — book review/excerpt, essay, commentary, perspective, or concise report — in this front-half “The Sciences” section is branded with The Sciences logo, thereby paying homage to the original award-winning magazine. Thought leaders in various diverse fields are invited to submit papers.

Ideas for submissions can be sent to Douglas Braaten.

Evolution and Epigenetics

The 2022 symposium entitled “How Evolution Learnt to Learn – Epigenetics of Experienced Context” and this virtual issue follow on published volumes of previous symposia: Ann. N.Y. Acad. Sci. Vol. 1178 (Natural Genetic Engineering and Natural Genome Editing) in 2008, Ann. N.Y. Acad. Sci. Vol. 1341 (DNA Habitats and Its RNA Inhabitants) in 2014, and Ann. N.Y. Acad. Sci Vol. 1447 (Evolution – Genetic Novelty/Genomic Variations by RNA-Networks and Viruses) in 2018. The symposia were organized by Guenther Witzany.

The 2022 symposium included 50 experts to discuss epigenetic marking and its regulatory impact on transgenerational inheritance, cell fate and identity, morphology, physiology, genetic instructions, neuroepigenetic reprogramming, memory and learning, physical and mental disease, immunity, and the roles of persistent viruses and their co-opted and exapted defectives such as non-coding RNA networks and mobile genetic elements. The symposium took place on July 6–10, 2022 at the St. Virgil Conference Center in Salzburg. Head administrator Hiltrud Oman managed all the details before and during the meeting; Andreas Oman, Martin Koller, and Tanja Walorz assisted directly at the conference center; and Land Salzburg and Stadt Salzburg supported the symposium. Heidi Vereno performed as the harpist at the conference dinner.

STEMM Excellence

This collection of papers addresses talent and education in science, technology, engineering, mathematics, and medicine (STEMM). Experimental and review papers address important issues on STEMM talent and education including how to ignite and promote interest in STEMM, transform STEMM talent into academic and professional achievement, and translate research on STEMM talent into programs that maintain interest and success in STEMM fields. Many of these articles focus on populations that have been left out of STEMM talent development, such as girls, underrepresented minorities in America, and children living in rural environments. This virtual issue is edited by Heidrun Stoeger, Linlin Luo, and Albert Ziegler.
