On October 18th (next Thursday) the NYAS Science Allicance will be presenting a panel discussion entitled "How Various Media Outlets are Used to Popularize, Communicate & Promote Science" at NYU. Christopher Mims (Scientific American), Ann Marie Cunningham (NPR's Talk of the Nation: Science Friday), Kitta MacPherson (the Star Ledger's Science section), and David Levine (Office of Communications and Marketing for the New York City Health and Hospitals Corporation) will be the panelists, although I'm a bit disappointed to see that blogs aren't being represented on the panel and science blogging will likely figure in the talks as well (thanks for the correction, Kate). I'll be there though, and registration for the event is still open so sign up if you'll be in the city and have the time next Thursday.

thrilled to hear that you'll be there.
and you don't think, as cofounder and co-organizer of this series, i would let science bloggers slip through the cracks, would you?
one of our panelists, chris mims, founded scienceblogs.com and writes for the sciam blog, so he'll be giving e-publishing some special treatment.
and of course, this spring, we'll be hosting an entire lecture specifically devoted to the use of new media in science communication. blogging will be loud and clear at that one!
be sure to find me at the talk - look forward to meeting you in person.
Pardon my ignorance, Kate; I didn't know you were involved! I'll edit the post accordingly. I'm looking forward to meeting you as well and I'll definitely keep my eyes open for you.
