A highlight of the last year's conference for me was meeting Helen Mahar. I will be at the conference again this year. You can also register at www.aefweb.info

Can one of you generous Aussies lend me a couple of bob so I can get down to the conference. Ps. I'm coming from Canada. :-)
Anybody from Perth, or Western Oz? I'm curious about Shark Bay.

Surprise plug for me, Jen? Didn't think I had that much glam factor.
Aside from a lineup of remarkable speakers, at last year's conference I found the mix of people surprising. Scientists / academics, from a wide variety of fields, and rural people / industries from a wide variety of, er, paddocks, made up a high proportion of attendees. An unusual, stimulating mix. This bushie left with a bad case of data overload. Looking for the next fix.

What do you want to know about Shark Bay - I was up there last December watching .... um sharks, dugongs and dolphins...

As luck would have it Lubos Motl has a post,

and link for a webcast of the 33rd International Geological Congress in Oslo Norway. It features many wise things said by Prof Bob Carter, and many other climate change skeptics.
