Due to the special circumstances brought on by the COVID-19 pandemic students conducting projects that use human participants should include any potential for exposure to COVID-19 as a potential risk if participating in the study and how the student researcher is going to mitigate that risk.

Student researchers and supervising adults should be aware of guidance or regulations from the state, county and local officials as well as their school districts or research facilities and abide with the most restrictive requirements with the utmost caution and care. The safety of the entire community should be a priority.

Society for Science & the Public is delighted to present our 2019 Annual Report, New Frontiers, which shares how we are working to bring together our journalism, education and outreach & equity programs to explore new frontiers. It commemorates a year of incredible new partnerships and programs for the Society.
