AGI's Government Affairs Program seeks outstanding geoscience undergraduate or Masters students with a strong interest in federal science policy for a semester-long internship.

L'Oréal is now accepting applications for its 2009 Fellowships for Women in Science.  The fellowship program awards grants -- from $40,000 to $60,000 -- to five female researchers each year who are pursuing careers in science, math, engineering, or computer sciences.  The selection is based on proposed research projects and eligibility according to stringent criteria.

As an affiliate of the Washington Academy of Sciences, all DC AWIS members are invited to participate as a 2009 Judge in a S.T.A.R.S. Science Fair at one of the greater Washington (D.C., Suburban Maryland, or Northern Virginia) schools. WAS Affiliate participants (such as DC AWIS members) have enjoyed and greatly enhanced the professionalism and quality of this K-12 initiative.
