There are 103 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 many 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). Here are some of the people who will be there, for you to meet in person if you register in time.
My Scibling and dear friend, Suzanne Franks, aka Zuska describes herself as…well, go and read how she describes herself. If you write something sexist, Super-Zuska will put her cape on, fly to wherever in the world you are, and puke on your shoes. And if you donate to schools through Zuska’s Challenge on DonorsChoose, you will be eligible to win the Grand Prize: a t-shirt emblazoned with the unforgettable words: “Zuska says: Don’t make me puke on your shoes.”
Karen Ventii, besides being a SciBling, is a Ph.D. student of biochemistry at Emory University in Atlanta GA and is looking for a career in science journalism or writing. Karen and Zuska will co-moderate a session on Gender and Race in science: online and offline. You can already start asking questions (by editing that wiki page).
