The Impact

As our nation and the global economy place an increased demand for science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) jobs, science educators must implement innovative approaches to pique precollege student’s interests in these careers. Pharmacology remains a relevant and engaging platform to teach biology and chemistry concepts, and this strategy applied over several months in the formal classroom increases science literacy in high school students. In order to improve the affordability and accessibility of this educational approach, we developed and assessed the impact of a short-term pharmacology day camp, ‘Pills, Potions, and Poisons’ (PPP), on high school students’ science knowledge and attitudes toward science careers. The PPP program was offered annually from 2009 through 2012, and participants spent 6 days learning about pharmacology and careers in the biomedical sciences. All PPP student participants (n=134) completed surveys assessing their basic science knowledge and science attitudes before and after the program. Students achieved significant gains in their science knowledge by the end (Day 6) of the PPP program (from 41% mean test score to 65%; p<0.001). In addition, the majority of participants agreed or strongly agreed that the PPP program positively impacted their attitudes toward science (p<0.001). This study provides evidence that a short-term pharmacology-centered science enrichment program can achieve significant gains in participant’s science knowledge as well as motivation and confidence towards science careers. Moreover, we report benefits experienced by the undergraduate, graduate, and professional pharmacy student teaching assistants (TAs, n=10) who reported improved communication skills and an increased interest in future educational work.   Type: Original Research

Science Cafe

This chapter provides a roadmap for any who are inspired to start a teen science café program as a member of the teen science café network. These out-of-school programs are a free, fun way for teens to explore the advances in science and technology affecting their lives. Teens and scientists engage in lively conversations and activities to explore a topic deeply. Teens get increased understanding of the nature of science and develop a realistic perception of scientists, science careers, and the lives they lead. Scientists gain skills in communicating science to the public and inspire youth to STEM careers. Adult leaders serve as guides for the teen leaders and are the linchpin of the program. Evaluation shows programs positively influenced teens understanding of science issues in the news, the ability to use facts to support scientific points of view and considering multiple sides of an issue before making a decision.

Advances in artificial intelligence (AI) will transform modern life by reshaping transportation, health, science, finance, and the military. To adapt public policy, we need to better anticipate these advances. Here we report the results from a large survey of machine learning researchers on their beliefs about progress in AI. Researchers predict AI will outperform humans in many activities in the next ten years, such as translating languages (by 2024), writing high-school essays (by 2026), driving a truck (by 2027), working in retail (by 2031), writing a bestselling book (by 2049), and working as a surgeon (by 2053). Researchers believe there is a 50% chance of AI outperforming humans in all tasks in 45 years and of automating all human jobs in 120 years, with Asian respondents expecting these dates much sooner than North Americans. These results will inform discussion amongst researchers and policymakers about anticipating and managing trends in AI. This article is part of the special track on AI and Society.

Project Accelerate is a National Science Foundation funded program providing access to a rigorous introductory college level College Board Advanced Placement physics course to students attending high schools where this opportunity is not part of the regular high school program of study. High schools in the United States not offering this opportunity in general are either small rural schools or high schools in districts serving a larger than average proportion of economically disadvantaged families. Students in Project Accelerate do as well on the AP exam as their peer groups enrolled in traditional AP® Physics 1 classrooms. In addition, students in Project Accelerate show a marked increase in interest in pursuing post high school academic programs in science.

Seorang calon mahasiswa yang ingin melanjutkan jenjang pendidikannya ke sekolah tinggi ilmu kesehatan bukan suatu persoalan yang mudah, banyak pertimbangan yang harus dipertimbangkan seperti biaya selama perkuliahan, lowongan perkerjaan, kerjasama kampus tersebut dengan instansi terkait, dan lain-lain. Sampel kriteria yang digunakan dalam perancangan prototipe sistem pendukung keputusan dalam memilih Sekolah Tinggi Ilmu Kesehatan (STIKES) adalah kriteria yang didapatkan dari jawaban kuesioner sesuai dengan hasil uji validitas disetiap variable kriterianya. Proses pengambilan keputusan dalam memilih sekolah tinggi ilmu kesehatan ini menggunakan penggabungan 2 metode yaitu AHP dan F-AHP yang memiliki tujuan agar dapat mengurangi penilaian secara subyektivitas dan mengecek konsistensi logic antar kriteria maupun subkriteria, sehingga dapat menghasilkan ranking sekolah tinggi ilmu kesehatan yang lebih objektif, serta dapat membantu memberikan rekomendasi STIKES mana yang layak untuk dipilih.A prospective student who wants to continue his education to high school health science is not an easy matter, many considerations that must be taken into account as expenses for tuition , job vacancies , the campus co-operation with relevant agencies , and others . Sample criteria used in the design of a prototype decision support system in choosing the College of Health Sciences ( STIKES ) is the criterion obtained from the results of the questionnaire were tested for validity every variable criteria. The decision making process in choosing a high school health science using two methods , namely the incorporation of F - AHP and AHP which has the aim to reduce the subjectivity of assessment and check the consistency between the criteria and sub-criteria , so as to produce a high- ranking school objectives of health sciences , as well as STIKES can help provide recommendations which are feasible for selected.
