The US National Academy of Sciences and The Royal Society cordially invite you to join us for the release of "Climate Change: Evidence & Causes," a new publication produced jointly by the two institutions.

Convergence of the life sciences with fields including physical, chemical, mathematical, computational, engineering, and social sciences is a key strategy to tackle complex challenges and achieve new and innovative solutions. Find out more in this new video.

In this new video, Dr. Jim White of the University of Colorado, Boulder discusses the recent National Academy of Sciences report, Abrupt Impacts of Climate Change: Anticipating Surprises. Dr. White chaired the committee that authored this report.

As antiobiotic resistance emerges as a serious threat to public heath, needs are growing for new antibiotics that can overcome or bypass resistance. A recent Chemical Sciences Roundtable workshop hosted discussions on the technological challenges associated with developing such drugs.

A recent workshop examined issues surrounding the development of unconventional hydrocarbon resources--oil and gas accumulations in low-permeability rock such as shale or siltstone that are generally extracted by hydraulic fracturing--in the Appalachian region.
