Fall Semester Rolls on…
Well it’s a little over halfway through the Fall semester, and I’m hanging in there with class, work projects, and lots and lots of job application.

August on the interwebz
Last month ended in a kind of frenzy! Between DragonCon, our big outreach event of the year over at CosmoQuest, and classes starting for my first semester teaching, it was quite busy around here.

For a natural introvert, conferences can be a tricky experience. There is an almost overwhelming constant interaction, listening, talking, speaking, questioning, and collaborating. However, that’t the thing that makes conferences incredibly valuable. Meeting and gathering in person is still crucial to ideas and projects even in this age of virtual meetings and presentations. This mightContinue reading “Conference Musings, and Making a Difference”
Audio: Alien Conspiracy Panel at CONvergence 2014
A few weeks ago, I had an amazing time at CONvergence, a science fiction and fantasy convention in Minneapolis, MN. It has also become the home con of a smaller, sort of embedded con, SkepchickCon. As an occasionally elapsed but trying really hard contributor for the Skepchick Network, I’m glad to come along and shareContinue reading “Audio: Alien Conspiracy Panel at CONvergence 2014”
A Noisy Update
Hello, gentle (and not-so-gentle) readers. I’m on vacation at the moment, which to me means: catch up on all the non-work to-do’s that I’ve got on the back burner!
