danaerisPlane sat on runway before we took off for THREE HOURS yesterday. But, I read more than half of Wizards at War. Weee!
Conference is interesting so far, although Thursday was a wash due to the plane snafu. Today attended stuff about gerontology. It sounds to me like an extremely young science, but there could be results in time for me, and maybe even to extend, if not indefinitely, then for a significant time, the lives of people currently in their fifties.
Next something on Canadian research, and then on obesity, research, and public policy. In between, networking, and this evening, I will attempt to be in two places at once by attending the science journalism awards as well as the math section meeting.
-Patron's husband, who is also a mathematician (aww, mathematicians in love!) is looking for writers for a neat educational project, something I'm very interested in. Cool, more work!
-Patron is still interested in creating some kind of fellowship, and I've begun to assemble a list of fellowships and journalist-in-residence programs so that we can talk to those folks and learn from them.
-still no word from the Globe and Mail, so I resent the pitch with a different subject line and a note saying that a response would be appreciated. Here's hoping. If they say no, at this point I may just have to turn it into a feature. Of course, then I could pitch it to a magazine. That could be fun -- my first science feature for an actual magazine. Sexy!
Off I go... more science, more networking, more fun! (one more post to follow before I jet, but this is goodbye nonetheless)
