There are 92 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.
Peter Etnoyer is 'a Graduate Research Associate at the Harte Research Institute for Gulf of Mexico Studies, Texas A&M University-Corpus Christi. He studies deep corals and ocean fronts, and he loves to be on the water' (copied straight from his "About Me" section). He blogs here on Seed scienceblogs on Deep Sea News.
Kevine Zelnio is a 'Marine Biologist and Graduate Student Researcher at Penn State studying the ecology and systematics of deep-sea invertebrate organisms at hydrothermal vents and methane seeps.' His blog is The Other 95%.
I met Rick MacPherson last summer in San Francisco. He is working on coral reef preservation with the Coral Reef Alliance and he blogs on Malaria, Bedbugs, Sea Lice, and Sunsets
Jason Robertshaw works at Mote Marine Laboratory in Florida and runs Cephaloblog, Cephalopodcast and Cephalovlog. I guess he has a thing for Cephalopods (sounds familiar?).
These four guys will moderate a panel on real-time blogging in the marine sciences at the Conference.
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.
