This brought several prominent science educators and advocates to Ottawa for a weekend of lectures and discussions, including several people authors whose books and blogs I enjoy.

I was particularly thrilled to be able to sit with Dr. Eugenie Scott (Director, National Center for Science Education) to listen to a lecture by Dr. PZ Myers (professor of biology, University of Minnesota), then tour the birds and dinosaurs galleries of Ottawa's Natural History Museum with these distinguished scientists.

Registration was easy, and there are tools for easy image migration, one of which I have running now.
