There are 71 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 119 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.
Kim Gainer teaches Literature at Radford University in Virginia. She also writes fantasy fan fiction. Her daughter Patty Gainer is a student at Radford High School. Last year, Kim and Patty brought Paddington Bear to meet Professor Steve Steve. Who knows who they will bring this time?!
Rhonda Dillingham teaches English in the amazing Zoo School in Asheboro, NC. I don't know about Paddington Bear, but who knows, perhaps Rhonda can bring a real animal straight from the Zoo!
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.
If you are coming, exchange information about where you are staying, if you are offering a ride, need a ride, or want to carpool on the Ride Board - just edit the wiki page and add the query or information.
Some of our Friday lab tours are now in place, so you can start signing up to join one of them.
Get updates and get in touch with other participants via our Facebook Event group (I see that some who originally responded "Maybe attending" are now registered).
Please use 'scienceblogging.com' as your tag when writing blog posts about it or uploading pictures. You can also download and print out the flyers (PDF1 and PDF2) and post them on bulletin boards at your office, lab or school.

Actually, that's Radford University, with an 'a'. (Sorry. It's the English teacher in me that compels me to point this out.)
