This fall, I am traveling to many different cities and institutions to talk to a diversity of groups about new directions in science communication. Below is an updated lineup with new events scheduled for Princeton University, Bucknell University, and the National Cancer Institute.

There are also more details on the much anticipated panel discussion at the University of Minnesota that will include the bloggers PZ Myers and Greg Laden. The popular podcast series CFI Point of Inquiry plans to record and rebroadcast the event.

A few other possible stops are still in the works for the fall and the spring. These trips will be an opportunity to talk about how research can and should inform public engagement efforts, but it will also be a great opportunity to gain insights from some of the smartest people in the country.

um, if it were me, I might change:

There are also more details on the much anticipated panel discussion at the University of Minnesota that will include the bloggers profs. PZ Myers and Greg Laden.

thusly.

I rather think both of them think themselves professors before thinking of themselves as bloggers.

just a thought.

oh, on a more serious note, is this blog a safe haven for Don-Imus style New Atheists?

;)

ah, strikeout didn't work.

crossout "bloggers" replace with "profs" was supposed to be the idea, anyway.
