There are 76 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 114 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.
I heard that herding cats is difficult. Managing people who write the 64 scienceblogs is perhaps impossible as cats, at least, have patience. But Virginia Hughes does it effortlessly - responding to all our questions and demands, picking Buzz terms, quotes and photos for landing pages, and posting herself. And on her own blog as well. I hear she has read every single post ever written by a Seed scienceblogger plus most of the comments! That is a full-time job in itself! And she is coming to the Conference (and is bringing cool swag with her for the participants).
In order to meet her, you know what you have to do: register! Registration is free. Check the map for nearby hotels. And sign up for the Friday dinner.
If you are coming, exchange information about where you are staying, if you are offering a ride, need a ride, or want to carpool on the Ride Board - just edit the wiki page and add the query or information.
Some of our Friday lab tours are now in place, so you can start signing up to join one of them.
Get updates and get in touch with other participants via our Facebook Event group (I see that some who originally responded "Maybe attending" are now registered).
Please 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.
