There are 88 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.
Abel PharmBoy is a good friend of mine and a great blogger on Terra Sigillata. He "writes on natural product drugs and dietary supplements, academic career development, medical journalism, making and listening to music, and wine appreciation for the monetarily- challenged."
James Hrynyshyn is "a freelance science journalist based in western North Carolina, where he tries to put degrees in marine biology and journalism to good use". He writes the excellent Island Of Doubt blog.
Dave and Greta Munger are a husband-and-wife team writing the delightful and innovative blog Cognitive Daily. Greta Munger is Professor of Psychology at Davidson College whose works include The History of Psychology: Fundamental Questions. Dave Munger is a writer whose works include Researching Online and The Pocket Reader. At the Conference, Dave will lead a session on Building interactivity into your blog - more than just comments and trackbacks.
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.
