Live-blogging From New York…

by Sheril Kirshenbaum

The NYAS Two Cultures conference exceeded my expectations… From E. O. Wilson to Dean Kamen, and everyone in between–including our audience–it was a wonderful event! There is so much I can’t wait to share with readers, but this morning I’m in a rush to the airport headed to Long Beach, California, where I’ll be contributing to a new ocean communication initiative.  So while I’ll spend much of the day overhead and offline, I encourage you to check out the Institute for Ethics and Emerging Technologies website where Director Mike Treder did a terrific job live-blogging every session:

Live from New York – It’s Two Cultures!

Live from New York – Two Cultures, Part Two

Tremendous thanks to all who participated!  And with that, I’m off to JFK, but expect lots more on Saturday at NYAS — including photos and video–coming soon…

Agenda For The “Two Cultures” Conference

by The Intersection

Last week we told you about the NYAS Two Cultures Conference coming up on May 9, 2009 in celebration of the 50 year anniversary of C.P. Snow’s famous Rede lecture. Politicians, academics, writers, and the media will converge to discuss
science and society–including keynote addresses by E.O. Wilson, John
Porter, and Dean Kamen.

Today we’re pleased to announce that the website for the event featuring the full schedule is now available here. Tickets are going fast so we encourage readers to take a look at the agenda and register soon.  We hope to see you there!
