Vancover, Melbourne, Sydney, and More

I've just updated my public talks page, and am psyched to announce that I'm truly going international this year. Already there are two events scheduled in Vancouver, and I'm taking part in a plenary session on "Biasing Scientific Information" at the World Conference of Science Journalists, this April in Melbourne, Australia. While down under, I'll also be doing a talk in Sydney. Upcoming U.S. stops will include Chicago and Maine.

I'm very excited that the calendar is filling up, because I very much want to do more traveling and speaking this year--all the more so since I have resolved not to start writing a new book right away. To that end, I'm hoping to have another major speaking-related announcement within the next couple of weeks. But for now, please plan to drop by if I'm in your area, and spread the word! That includes all those Australian science bloggers out there (although I realize it's a big country....)

Blogging geoscience meetings
Over the past year, as live-blogging and live-tweeting conferences have become more common, scientific societies have had to figure out what to do about bloggers. What are we? We don't usually wear press badges (although there are professional journalists who blog, and there are bloggers who write…
