	NASA/Marshall Microgravity Science 1998 Science Stories
		The structure of an antibody crucial to fighting the Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV) was refined during 1998 by using proteins grown as crystals on a 1997 Space Shuttle mission.
		The science team is hopeful that the success of this mission, and its anticipated data, will lead to a third mission to explore soil mechanics further.
		In 1998, a team led by Dr. Dennis Tucker of Marshall Space Flight Center's Space Sciences Laboratory constructed and began testing a preform processor, and redesigned a laser scattering apparatus for detecting crystallization as fibers form.

		On March 14, 1998, Carnegie Science Center hosted a ceremony to present the 1998 Science Awards for Excellence, and the award winners are listed below.
		I think one reason science education begins to fall behind is that elementary teachers are often afraid of science.
		While we used to think a science education was good for at least four years, I think it is now about two years because of the constant change.

	UNESCO Launches 1998 World Science Report
		But science education and university research are becoming more costly world-wide and even establishments in some of the most developed countries are struggling to renew equipment rapidly enough to keep up with progress.
		It appears that while globalisation has contributed to a broader awareness of the opportunities science offers for accelerating socio-economic development and enabled greater international co-operation than ever before, it has also placed pressure on science to be more cost-effective, to the detriment of basic research.
		The English edition of the World Science Report 1998 which will be launched in Washington DC is to appear in French in the course of July.

	An Analysis of the July 1, 1998 California Science Standards
		This approach was validated by the results of the Third International Mathematics and Science Study (TIMSS), a massive study of science education in more than 40 countries, which found that science and mathematics education in the US cover far more topics with far less time per topic than curricula in other countries.
		The entire fifth grade physical science is likewise devoted to the atomic theory of matter, again in conflict with the national documents and the cognitive literature.
		He is also one of the leaders in the very successful science education reform program of the Montgomery County (Maryland) Public Schools, one of the largest school districts in the United States.

	1998-1999 Writing Science Sessions
		Over a broad sweep of history, I think it may be useful to think about three things together: the object of the scientist's (or philosopher's) knowledge, the nature of that knowledge and the means of securing it, and the identity of the knower.
		Arguing that the work of metaphor and narrative is simultaneously scientific and cultural work, I shall touch upon such issues as borders/boundaries and the possibility of translations in science, cognitive approaches to science and cultural studies of science, and problems of agency and change.
		As science studies moved toward cultural studies, the question arose what the term "culture" in cultural studies of science meant, and what explanatory power it was supposed to have.

	Science lists 1998’s biggest breakthroughs - - MSNBC.com
		But the bottom line touches on the ultimate fate of all that we see: Based on the observations so far, two teams of astronomers have concluded that the universe is fated to expand forever into virtual nothingness.
		Writing in Friday’s issue of Science, James Glanz said the amazing results are changing the way people approach life’s grandest questions.
		“Although the nature of the universe was once chiefly the realm of philosophers, in 1998 it seems that cosmology is grounded in data, as visions of distant supernovae revealed the true nature — and perhaps the future — of the cosmos,” Glanz said.
