Drat

I was really looking forward to attending the annual SVP meeting in Ohio this year, but after mulling things over I don't think it is possible for me to go. I simply can't afford the cost of the trip. I am very much saddened by this, particularly since I was looking forward to meeting so many people (and a owe a few folks a beer for their kindness to me over the past year), but it looks like I'm going to have to sit this one out.

If you are a paleo blogger and are attending, though, head on over to Julia's blog as there are plans to organize a plaeo-blogger breakfast. I'll be sad to miss it, but being that so many bloggers seem to be going at least I'll get to hear about it.

[In related news, in a few weeks I'll be at the Apple store in Soho, NYC to talk about science blogging with a few of my Sb colleagues. You can find more information about that here.]
