The 2014 Annual PAASE Meeting and Symposium was held last May 23, 2014. The conference included Plenary talks by distinguished professors such as Dr. Oliver Smithies, 2007 Nobel Prize Winner for Physiology or Medicine,  Dr. Michael Purugganan, 2014 Severino and Paz Koh Awardee in Science, and Dr. Ernesto Terrado, 2014 Koh Lectureship Awardee in Engineering.

Three PAASE members in National Research Council – Ford Foundation Fellowships Program
In what may be a first, three members of PAASE served concurrently on the National Research Council-Ford Foundation Fellowships Program review panels held March 10-11, 2014 at the Beckman Center of the National Academies of Sciences and Engineering in Irvine, CA. Shown on the attached picture are, from left, Dr. Manuel P. Soriaga (Texas A&M University and California Institute of Technology), Dr. Jose B. Cruz, Jr.(Ohio State University) and Dr. Arnold Guloy (University of Houston). Dr. Cruz, a co-founder of PAASE, is himself a member of the US National Academy of Engineering.  Drs. Guloy and Soriaga participated in the Physical Sciences and Mathematics group while Dr. Cruz sat in on the Engineering panel. All three (as certainly other PAASE members) have served in previous NASE-NRC panels but never at the same time.

PAASE Member Dr. Joost R. Santos Guest Edits Special Issue of Economic Systems Research 
The world has experienced a significant number of catastrophic disasters in recent years. Disasters result in human casualties, infrastructure failures, and a host of social and economic consequences. In the 2014 special issue of Economic Systems Research, a collection of research articles demonstrate the use of data analysis and economic input-output modeling techniques to enhance disaster loss assessment and management. This special issue was co-edited by Yasuhide Okuyama and Joost Santos (PAASE Member) and can be accessed for free through this link.
