Science Blogging Conference - who is coming? (Framing Science)

There are 89 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 96 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.

Jennifer Jacquet is a Ph.D. student with the Sea Around Us project at the University of British Columbia Fisheries Centre. She blogs on Shifting Baselines and will come all the way from Vancouver, Canada to join us at the Conference.

Apart from being a friend and a local blogger, Sheril Kirshenbaum is a marine biologist at the Nicholas Institute for Environmental Policy Solutions at Duke University. She recently joined The Intersection blog and even more recently the Wired Science blog Correlations.

Chris Mooney is Washington correspondent for Seed magazine and the author of two books, The Republican War on Science and the newly released Storm World, as well as numerous articles on the politics of science and science communication. He blogs on The Intersection, the first science blog I ever discovered.

The three of them - Jennifer, Sheril and Chris - will be on the Changing Minds through Science Communication: a panel on Framing Science 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. You can also download and print out the flyers (PDF1 and PDF2) and post them on bulletin boards at your office, lab or school.
