Science Blogging Conference - who is coming? (Duke communications)

i-77cb9830621cd0d12c254e60b30e9640-2008NCSBClogo200.pngThere are 71 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 121 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-0b88c846f70d52dac772e1a3016a0c2d-duke-logo.jpgKarl Leif Bates is the Manager of Research Communications at the Office of News and Communications at Duke University. Last summer, Karl did an experiment asking undergraduates involved in summer research to blog about their experiences - you can find their blogging (some of it brilliant!) at the Student Research at Duke blog.

Heymo Vehse is an Analyst Programmer at Duke University (is this the same person?).

Kelly Malcom is a new editor at Duke Medicine. She is a Duke grad, and worked for last six years at Science News.

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.

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.
