In honor of the centennial anniversary of 1908 Conference of Governors, governors from around the country are going to meet at Yale on April 18 for a conference on global climate change, the group hoping to solidify local and federal initiatives to combat global warming. Among those present will be Jon Corzine (Governor of New Jersey), Chet Culver (Governor of Iowa), Jim Doyle (Governor of Wisconsin), Deval Patrick (Governor of Massachusetts), Jodi Rell (Governor of Connecticut), Arnold Schwarzenegger (Governor of California), and Kathleen Sebelius (Governor of Kansas). More information can be found here.
Also, the Science Communication Consortium (founded by my Scibling Kate Seip) is going to have their next meeting about think tanks and congressional science committees on April 24th. The event will be free but is only open to the first 70 people to register, which you can do here.
