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.

The top 10 (more or less) sources for higher ed PR and marketing info

Robert French (he of InfoPinions? and PRblogs.org) has created a list of the top higher ed PR and marcomm sources for the Top 10 Sources collaborative. So far, he hasn’t been busted for including a couple of extras on the list. I recognize and read several on the list, but see a few I don’t recognize. Looks like it’s time to update the blogroll again.
