Notes from the National Association of Science Writers conference

If you missed the National Association of Science Writers‘ conference in Baltimore last weekend, you can read about many of the sessions on a conference blog of sorts. Lots of well written posts there. (Personal favorite: Adventures in Alternative Science Communication, which described a session on why talking about science need not be stodgy.) But what else should we expect from a writers conference?

You can also read the views of UMR staffer Lance Feyh, who posted about killer wasps, zombie cockroaches and other things he learned about at the conference on our science blog, Visions.

eRelevant: blogging the Stamats conference

I’ve been a bad blogger, neglecting my blogroll lately while I grapple with the fallout of our name-change discussion announcement. So I missed the fact that Morgan Daivs of erelevant has been blogging about a Stamats conference in Philly. With pictures, even. (Actually, much of the blogging has been about pre-conference stuff, but he’s getting into the meat of the content now, so it’s a good time to log on for some vicarious, virtual conferring.)
