This Special Collection:

In Science's Next Wave
The devastating December 2004 tsunami and its widely reported aftermath have sharpened the focus of the world's scientific and policy communities on addressing such unpredictable threats. Science Magazine's 12 August 2005 issue looks at both the scientific and policy dimensions of disaster preparedness and response, with a News feature on the tsunami's psychological aftermath and Viewpoint articles on various aspects of dealing with disasters. In a related set of features this week, Science's Next Wave, the magazine's online companion site specializing in career development resources for young scientists, explores career and funding opportunities in disaster science.
