Video: the ULTIMATE science presentation @ a conference: Chicken chicken chicken


S

Seriously? I don't want to watch it again, yet, 'cause my abs are SO SORE
from laughing, & the tears rolling down my face just dried.

This man is my new #1 hero.

I bet $1000 he paid for NO drinks, that night.

Phew!

HIGHLY recommend to all you professor types, out there,
to help students learn about effective science communication.

NOTE: there is an important follow up question at the end that you don't want to miss.

OMG so excited...

  
Officially registered for the George Wright Society Conference, so apparently I'm really going. Exciting! March 14-18, and I even signed up for a field trip, so should be very fun!

Only happens every 2 years, so I am always waiting with bated breath. It's a major dose of park/open space preservation edification and HUGEly social, tho' I know very few folks from the west going, this year (many NPSers living under a travel ceiling that's VERY low).

These things are very exciting for a chatty biologist working largely from her home office in the sticks. I've already started trying on outfits; I get to dress up in real professional people clothes and everything! (says the woman who is presently wearing jeans, trail running shoes, a black viva la evolution t-shirt (courtesy of AAAS), brown sweatshirt (ooh, just realized it's on backwards), a down jacket, and a bright blue fuzzy hat. STYLIN'!)

Spent some quality time at Zappos yesterday, if you know what I mean...

=)

Are there any meetings you get to go to, now and then, that you get excited about? DO tell. Any pre-meeting rituals? Mid-meeting survival strategies/traditions?
