ISEN-ASTC-L is a service of the Association of Science-Technology Centers
Incorporated, a worldwide network of science museums and related institutions.
*****************************************************************************
How do technology and media impact modern life? Keynote speaker Steven
Berlin Johnson, an award-winning writer who examines the intersection of
science, technology, and personal experience, will address the ASTC Annual
Conference on Saturday, October 18, in Philadelphia.
Johnson is a distinguished writer in residence at New York University's
Department of Journalism and the co-creator of three web sites. His most
recent book, The Ghost Map, examines the 1854 London cholera epidemic as a
case study in how scientific and social change occurs. Insights arising from
The Ghost Map led him to collaborate on outside.in, a new web site that
gathers in one place conversations and information about U.S. neighborhoods.
The plenary session on Sunday-moderated by Joe Palca, science correspondent
for National Public Radio-addresses the theme of global warming. Speakers
include research scientist Anthony Leiserowitz, urban planner Philip C.
Myrick, and author/illustrator Lynne Cherry. Interested attendees are
invited to continue the discussion with panelists in a small-group setting
after the plenary.
