[Bxscience Key Club] Meeting and events!

Posted by image |

Hey Bronx Science Key Club!


So how many of you were totally confused with the weird bells today? So many kids were late to their classes, but make sure one of them is not you because of that new no-cuts policy or whatever. There's a bunch of important stuff, so I'm gonna get straight to the point. 

1) FIRST UNOFFICIAL MEETING IS THIS THURSDAY IN THE COURTYARD ON THE GRASS IN FRONT OF NED'S TRUCK. Since there is no SGI yet, the meeting will start at approximately 3:15. This will give you plenty of time to go to your locker, get food from Ned's/Ghetto/Bus Stop Truck (did you know that that's what the newest one is called? I found out today!) Be there or be square, especially since theres a surprise :)

2) Please write articles about the events from the past two months (after July 15) and send them to Connie (liangc4@bxscience.edu) or Qing (linq2@bxscience.edu)

3)9/16 Annual Beach Clean Up Day (I convinced my APES- AP Environmental Science- teacher to give us extra credit if we went :D )


5) Please make a poster so that we can publicize Key Club on club fair day (Thursday, Sept 20th) You will be given points for it. Name of club, a drawing or something nice. make it pretty please! Bring it  ASAP to any of the board members. Thanks again!!

<3 Tam

(RIP those who fell 11 years ago & condolences to those affected by the tragedy)

{science_ACJ} Stevan Harnad's latest on OA

Posted by image |

Friends:



Stevan Harnad is a listed keynote speaker. Here is the abstract of his address:

Digital Research: How and Why the RCUK Open Access Policy Needs to Be Revised

When Sep 11, 2012

Where Bernard Sunley Lecture Theatre
Add event to calendar  vCal

The Web is destined to become humankind's Cognitive Commons, where digital knowledge is jointly created and freely shared. The UK has been a leader in the global movement toward Open Access (OA) to research but very recently its leadership has been derailed by the joint influence of the publishing industry lobby from without and well-intentioned but premature and counterproductive over-reaching from within the OA movement itself.

The result has been the extremely counter-productive Finch Committee Report followed by a new draft of the RCUK OA policy, downgrading the role of cost-free OA self-archiving of research publications ("Green OA") in favour of paying subscription publishers extra money, over and above subscriptions, out of scarce research funds, in exchange for making single articles OA ("hybrid Gold OA"). The motivation is to reform publication and to gain certain re-use rights, but the likely effect will be researcher resistance, very little OA, a waste of scarce research funds and the loss of the UK's global leadership in the OA movement. There is still time to fix the RCUK policy. I will try to describe how and why.

HI! I hope your first day was lovely! I'm sorry for this email, I know I sent one last night, but this email is an absolute emergency!

The Friends Group of the Family Literacy Center and Long Island City Community Library needs our help. The library has a Family Literacy Program which is a federal enrichment program that is on the verge of shutting down due to recent financial problems. On september 8, the program is having a movie night to gather donations to keep the enrichment program going.The program has helped parents and children learn the English language together, something really special and important.

The Movie Night, which is more like a day, is THIS SATURDAY 9/8 at Queens Library LIC Branch37-44 21st Street LIC., NY 11106 from 12pm-3pm. Please bring a small donation!!!! They really need our help. Literacy is sososososoooo important. Sign up here!!!

I know some of you are taking the ACT, like me, so I asked the coordinator if it's okay if we are late. She has yet to respond, but I'm sure it'll be okay.

Thanks guys!
-Amanda Tam

[Bxscience Key Club] School schmuck

Posted by image |

Can you believe that summer is over?.... It'll be another 10 whole months before we can stay up and sleep in late, and watch tv to our souls content without having to worry about homework. But have no fear, because you still have Key Club to look forward to!


In fact, there is an event THIS Sunday 9/9 called the Bronx 10-Mile so sign up for it quickly please!

I will also be closing up the t-shirt order form soon. The look of the beaver may change! Money collection and due collection will start at our first meeting on the 13th. 

I'll see you guys tomorrow :) Best of luck on your first day, and don't get lost finding your classes!

<3 Amanda Tam
