All manner of human creativity on display
David Ng is Director of the Advanced Molecular Biology Laboratory at the University of British Columbia - this is a just a fancier way of calling himself a science teacher.
Benjamin Cohen is an Asst. Professor of Science, Tech., and Society at the University of Virginia. He studies the place of S & T in environmental history, policy, and ethics. He also writes other stuff.

Just a quick delurking call. This site doesn't get a whole lot of traffic, but myself and Jennifer over at Shifting Baselines were thinking of seeing if there are any readers in Vancouver who want to say hello. More on this later, but I am curious to see if there are any Vancouver folks who check in at the World's Fair.
This might also work as a Science Scout call, and if you're a UBCer, I might even try to get some feedback/suggestions for the Terry talks.

If I like what I see, I'll receive 5 more issues (6 in all) for just $14.95. That's 50% off the cover price! If I'm not completely satisfied, I'll simply write "cancel" on the invoice and owe nothing. The free issue is mine to keep.

If you put it off for a few months, I'll be there :)
Moving to Vancouver soon!

UBC grad here (PhD, Civil Eng, '04) ... working on campus in the tech incubator park. Lurker extraodinaire. Perhaps feed readers probably account for the low traffic numbers?

Low traffic? Boo-urns! This is one of the good blogs, IMHO. (Bio '02) UBC grad here, now a DNA wrangler at UVic. Not a bloggeur, but love the site. Keep it up, Dave - and anywhere there are beers and good conversation, count me in for get-togethers.

Scienceblogs should change the URLs sent out in feeds so that they can be tracked somehow.
Vancouver here, too.

I'm way over in N.S., so I certainly can't do to a meet.
Low traffic? It's our unfortunate preoccupation with doing things alphabetically. Change your blog name to 'Acme World's Fair' and watch your traffic rise. Also, you'll attract the Coyote demographic.
