I am attending the Blogging While Brown Conference. I wrote about my feelings about this conference previously, here and here. Thankfully a scholarship became available and I was able to attend.
I�m meeting new people and hearing some interesting ideas. However, I keep referencing this blogging conference to the other blogging conference I have attended. Hmm, still comparing the two. Maybe I should stop that. But I also keep thinking about all of the posts and pictures (and my goodness � a Carnival!) I have in progress in word files, in electronic photo albums, and the cobwebs in my head�I�m reserving all of my best energy and writing for the dissertation, which by the way is progressing. I�m a little behind turning in stuff to my lab mates, but I have meeting this Monday and I�ll be back on track. The good news, my committee likes my chapter 1. It�s well organized and the recommendations are all for clarity!!! So, as I get things handed in to committee, I�ll be sharing my Urban Science Adventures! �
Back to the conference�.
So far, there are three � 3 � STEM bloggers here. Me, Dr. Rabiah and Adria
The workshops have been informative, and I�ve been interested in the Branding Workshop. My purpose in attending this conference had to do with the developing notion in my head of reaching African-American audiences (an under-served group) and engaging them in science. I�m learning some things and synthesizing even more information.
I finally met Fredrick of YBPGuide.
Plus, I�m twittering about the conference at #bwb. Follow or contribute to the conferencePictures from the conference so far are below.
