JAM aftermath

By skookumchick on June 11, 2009.

i-f875c0b07d9b3cb6229668554781b35a-alice.jpgWow, I am terrible at liveblogging. I get too caught up in the conversation to be able to blog it properly. Also, in some rooms, the wireless was spotty. (Blaming my tools.)

I took copious notes during JAM and twittered key points, and will write them up over the next few days. But because of the shooting at the Holocaust Museum yesterday and the police were closing streets, we left the meeting early and abruptly (I didn't say goodbye to folks -- bye, folks!) and took the metro to the airport. Then we got stuck for a while because of weather, and I made it home to West Lafayette about 1 am. Then we had more thunderstorms. So I haven't had a lot of sleep; I'm going to call our external evaluator, and then I'm going to take a slow morning before meeting with my students and our dean this afternoon.

Mother and Child Reunion
With all the hullabaloo over the Intel ISEF, I haven't managed to tell you about my homecoming from my trip without Minnow. When I left the subject last, I was about to go to bed on my night alone in a hotel room. I hadn't freaked out since the airport. In the morning, I gave Fish a quick call…
