DGP is 40

I received an unorthodox birthday party invitation the other day. DGP is turning 40 and there is going to be a lab reunion. I am a friend of the lab and I plan to attend.

    "The University of Toronto’s Dynamic Graphics Project, in collaboration with the Department of Computer Science, invite DGP alumni and friends to attend its 40th anniversary and scientific workshop. DGPis40 celebrates the 40-year history of an incredibly successful, award-winning research group that encompasses the research areas of graphics and human-computer interaction (HCI). The event will feature talks by leaders in the field (most of whom are also DGP alumni), research demos and poster sessions by alumni, students, and faculty, and opportunities for socializing and celebrating the rich history and promising future of DGP. It will bring together 125 to 200 DGP students, faculty, alumni, faculty alumni, and friends since DGP's inception."

The full conference program is available.

I have to read more carefully to find out if there will be any cake.

The provisional schedule for Politics: Web 2.0 conference being held in April 2008 at Royal Holloway University in the UK just got posted. I will be attending and presenting a paper related to photoblogging and social change.

trust in science

I just registered to attend Trust in Science, an academic workshop happening in Toronto at the CBC building on October 15-16, 2007. It's free to register.

I'm looking forward to the panel on the distribution of expertise in relation to health.
