Next Thursday I’ll be speaking in Washington DC at the Koshland Science Museum about communicating science in new media. I’ll talk about some of the usual suspects–blogging, podcasts, the dreaded Twitter–but I’ve also got a new project to share. (I’ll blog the details about this semi-super-secret project in the next couple days.)
You can join me at the museum for free, but you have to make a reservation in advance by calling 202-334-1201 or emailing ksm@nas.edu. Or you can watch the livestream here, thanks to the folks at the American Society for Microbiology, which collaborates with the Koshland Museum. You can even ask questions via Twitter if you tweet them to @microbeworld or use the hashtag #koshland. We’ll be having a long Q & A session, and someone will be reading the questions from Twitter.
Here are the details:

Location: Koshland Science Museum
Time: 6:45 PM to 8:00 PM
6:45 – 7:15 Talk
