In the 1930s, Subrahmanyan Chandrasekhar found a fundamental parameter that determines the density of stars. Although recognized as a major discovery, it was generally unaccepted by astronomers because the work was ridiculed by a preeminent astronomer (Arthur Eddington). The controversy and current understanding of stellar evolution are discussed.…

Issues discussed with Thomas F. Malone (former Foreign Secretary-National Academy of Sciences) include: scientists role in dealing with such global problems as nuclear war and needs in developing countries; scientific relations with China/Soviet Union; scientific enterprise/human rights; science/technology role in foreign policy; and political…

Reviews the accomplishments in physics previous to 1931 and compares them to accomplishments during the past 50 years. (JN)

Discusses the probable changes in public attitudes toward science and technology as a result of the engineering accidents of 1979. Results of national polls conducted to identify public confidence in technological progress are included. (HM)

Reports a shortage of doctorate-holding analytical chemists to meet demand in academic and industrial positions. Percentages are reported for annual production of analytical chemists since 1970. Innovative programs between academia and industry are needed to increase the total Ph.D. chemist production. (CS)

Provides abstracts of contributed and invited papers presented at the 32nd Annual Fall Meeting of the American Physiological Society, held in Cincinnati, Ohio, October 11-16, 1981. (CS)

Examined the differential effects of a management by objectives (MBO) program on work satisfaction of development and research employee groups. Analyses indicated that these groups differed in perceptions of their work group climates and that facets of MBO explained significantly different amounts of variance in the groups' work satisfaction.…

Describes activities of the American Association for the Advancement of Science Mass Media Fellows Program, which began in 1975 to improve the reporting on current events in science and technology. (CS)

Reports on the evolution, since 1945, of the woman's role in science and technology in the Central European nation of Hungary. The report is presented by nine women who are scientists and engineers. (SA)

Update of a 1976 paper reviews technological, financial and economical, social and behavioral, and managerial trends in the information field, presents conclusions, identifies options, and suggests action. The profession is urged to study and identify its role in the rapidly approaching "paperless society." Predicted specific events and references…

Presents findings from an occupational survey of 3,894 regular members of the American Society for Information Science. Aspects discussed include degrees held, age, experience, job titles, employers, and job functions performed. Statistical tables and histograms support the discussion. (SW)

Presents guidelines for employees and employers in the science and engineering fields relative to recruitment, terms of employment, professional development, and termination and transfer. (GS)

Examines differences in unemployment rates and salaries between comparable men and women in science and engineering. Analyzes the current job market in science and engineering, explains the impact of federal appropriation decisions in this area, and predicts the supply and demand imbalances among scientists and engineers for the forseeable future.…
