#cvg2015: The day that we’re supposed to rise from the dead


Day 3 of Convergence! Feeling a bit frazzled around the edges…I was up until 2am last night. And today I have a morning panel to attend, Getting Students Into Science, at 9:30 in Atrium 3. Coffee sings a siren song this morning.

As our society gets more technological, being scientifically literate becomes increasingly critical. Come discuss ways we can attract more non-scientists to be familiar with the subject matter. How can we keep young children’s interest as they grow? Panelists: Renate Fiora, PZ Myers, Dan Berliner, Steven Theiss, Matthew Lowry

This afternoon we’re going to have a few more salons in room 228 as well. Jason Thibeault will be leading a discussion on Ethics in Video Games at 2:00, and at 3:00, Jeremy Messersmith will be stopping by for a conversation about the Neurobiology of Music.

Yes, the party room will be open again at 8pm. We get a lot of people stopping by because in addition to vodka shots, we have a water dispenser and watermelon slices available. Hydration matters! Drink water in addition to all that booze, people!

    discussion on Ethics in Video Games
    wha?
    contradiction in terms?
    I hope this will be a discussion of how to seek ethics therein, rather than just a search for bits-n-pieces of ethics in existence.

    sorry for bringing that up again. Gamergate has made such a big deal over this, i. don.t. know, how. to. drop. it.

    Oh, Lord, I do not envy him. Are we taking bets on how many heckling GGers will be present?
