There are 93 days until the Science Blogging Conference. The wiki is looking good, the Program is shaping up nicely, and there is more and more blog and media coverage already. There are already 95 registered participants and if you do not register soon, it may be too late once you decide to do so (we'll cap at about 230). Between now and the conference, I am highlighting some of the people who will be there, for you to meet in person if you register in time.
Reed Cartwright is a postdoc in Genetics and Bioinformatics. He blogs on De Rerum Natura and makes sure that the server of Panda's Thumb is always up and running and looking good (along with blogging there as well, of course). I believe that Professor Steve Steve is his idea. And he is this year's editor of the Open Laboratory, the anthology of the best science blogging of the year.
James Reale-Levis is a graduate student in Environmental Systems and a blogger.
Christian Casper is a Ph.D. student in the Program in Communication, Rhetoric, and Digital Media. With degrees in chemistry and English, he is interested in rhetorics of science, technology, and the environment, technical and professional communication and electronic communication in science.
In order to meet them, you know what you have to do: register! Registration is free. Check the map for nearby hotels. And sign up for the Friday dinner. And use 'scienceblogging.com' as your tag when writing blog posts about it or uploading pictures.

Thanks for the link. It lit a fire to actually post something I had been thinking about for awhile. I am really excited about the conference.

Thanks for the link to my site also. I'm interested in how new genres -- especially in science -- form and evolve. It looks like the medium of the blog has generated many new genres (as well as providing a new platform for existing ones), so I'm looking forward to some interesting discussions.
