Meeting Description: 

The American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS) meets in
Washington, DC 17-21 February.  For details: 
http://www.aaas.org/meetings/
This not a specialist meeting, but one where linguists address issues of 
interest to the larger scientific community and the public, and where we 
have an opportunity to hear colleagues in other disciplines present their 
work in accessible talks.

Section Z has organized five symposia:
-Explaining Phase Transitions (organized by David Lightfoot)
-From Freud to fMRI: Untangling the Mystery of Stuttering (Nan Bernstein 
Ratner), 
-Crossing borders in language science: What bilinguals tell us about mind 
and brain (Judith Kroll)
-Science behind improved foreign language expertise: Meeting the global 
challenge (Amy Weinberg)
-Hunter-Gatherers and Language Change (Claire Bowern).

In addition, Colin Phillips is giving a Topical Lecture: 'Linguistic Illusions:
Where You See Them, Where You Don't.'
Saturday, 19 February NOON-12:45pm.

Furthermore, Chair-elect of Section Z Mark Liberman is giving a talk 
'Lessons for Reproducible Science from the DARPA Speech and Language 
Program' in a symposium on The Digitization of Science: Reproducibility and 
Interdisciplinary Knowledge Transfer.  Saturday, 19th: 1:30pm-4:30pm
