NJ Academy of Science is celebrating its 67th Annual meeting this coming Saturday May 14, 2022 from 7:30 am to 4:30 pm. The event is Free in a virtual manner with 130+ live presentations. This year we are honored to have two great scientific female role models as keynote speakers, Amanda Fuller, MS – President, National Association of Academies of Science and Denise Gemmellaro, PhD – President of the European Society of Forensic Science (EUSFS). Both keynote speakers are trailblazers in their respective fields and scientific endeavors.
The annual meeting will give scientific presenters the opportunity to have their research abstract published; to compete at the 2022 nationals “American Junior Academy of Science” (junior academy level) or served as NJ Academy of Science delegate at the 2022 “American Association for the Advancement of Science” at the senior academy level; and allow participants to add this experience into their resumes. Your attendance will support the participants’ scientific growth as you share your questions and remarks with them, thus your participation is of essence. Please register as soon as possible tickets are limited
