Editorial.Many of you hold academic positions with responsibilities for training graduate and undergraduate students. Others of you are involved with student training indirectly through connections with academic colleagues. Each year the Academy serves as a place where some of those students present what is frequently their first formal presentation of research. Many of us had our first experience with a formal presentation of our research at a state academy of science and continue that tradition. State academies have been the launching ground for many young scientists. State academy journals can serve an equally important role as the forum for publishing a student's first peer-reviewed paper.

The journal is peer reviewed. The time frame for publication is usually less than six months. We accept articles describing original research, describing science education including laboratory experiments that you might suggest for high school or college teaching laboratories, science related news events of local interest, and descriptions of science institutions and missions in Mississippi. Articles addressing history and philosophy of science The history and philosophy of science (HPS) is an academic discipline that encompasses the philosophy of science and the history of science. Although many scholars in the field are trained primarily as either historians or as philosophers, there are degree-granting departments of are also encouraged.
