    Interesting meeting

    I've been going to the annual AGU meetings for years in San Francisco, but this was my first AAAS meeting. It's a real press frenzy compared to the hardcore geophysics stuff at AGU. OTOH, all the sessions are well "curated" and the overall theme of the meeting, sustainability science, was carried out well in nearly all the sessions I saw. Posting about it at geology.about.com -- sorry I didn't run into you anywhere.
