Community health care, asexual reproduction and climate change are issues of interest at the annual meeting of the American Association for the Advancement of Science - AAAS in the presence of scientists from 56 country (February 14-18).

The annual meeting of the American Association for the Advancement of Science takes place in Boston. Considered the largest academic-related meeting of the year, one of the main events that the AAAS will organize is the roundtable discussing public health issues. Here, the scientific community will focus on two tuberculosis and AIDS, one of the most fatal diseases on the planet, especially in developing countries.

Some other sessions will revolve around discussing malaria in Africa, as well as the latest research on two diseases: hepatitis C and cancer. Some scientists also have concerns about childhood obesity.

There are currently plans and studies of Mars exploration in the future.
