Mississippi Junior Academy of Science.http://www.mjas.org/ 2005 MJAS Competition Report The annual MJAS competition was held on February 11, 2005, at the Hinds Community College--Raymond Campus. Dr. Robert A. Thomas, a biologist from Loyola University-New Orleans, gave the keynote address. He presented a very informative talk entitled "Communicating Science: The oft forgotten, but essential element of being a scientist." Attendance increased this year and the quality of presentations was outstanding. I plan on attending the MSTA Msta (əmstä`), river, c.280 mi (450 km) long, rising N of Vyshne Volochek, NW European Russia, and flowing generally NW into Lake Ilmen near Novgorod. Navigable in its lower course, it is included in the Vyshnevolotsk canal system. meeting in October as well as regional science fairs to encourage MJAS participation next year. If you have any connections at the high school level and/or have ideas to help increase our numbers, please contact me at aimee.lee@usm.edu. Thanks to all of the academy members who volunteered their time by judging the presentations.
