I think thoughts like these are important to the conversation and I will definitely take these ideas with me. But I also encourage you to visitthe conference page - it's a wiki - so you can shape the conference, too, even if you can't attend.<BR/><A>http://www.scienceonline09.com/index.php/wiki/</A><BR/><BR/>Confluence City: Thanks. I'll get to work on that right away.DNLeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08086475028464064823noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33544813.post-9644620977314422152008-12-06T06:12:00.000-06:002008-12-06T06:12:00.000-06:00This is the sort of thing I'd like to publish in T...This is the sort of thing I'd like to publish in The American, if you can elaborate it into about a 500 word essay!Poetry Scoreshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15624640062686409332noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33544813.post-63916173031716110062008-12-05T08:52:00.000-06:002008-12-05T08:52:00.000-06:00I fear that we have by no means eliminated certain...I fear that we have by no means eliminated certain prejudices in the field. While we're seeing increasing racial diversity, perhaps you're still seeing (I know my daughter is) a certain preference to males over females in the field... especially at many of these meetings.
