Notes on break-out sessions:

  1. Second column is how many registrants expressed an interest
  2. Below the chart I’ve included a list of full names
  3. “TBD” is “To be determined”. If a cell is blank, currently we don’t have that topic in that session.
  4. I’m tracking down how many break-out rooms we have and how large they are. I think we roughly have 10 rooms of 12 people each.  We can also have several groups meet in the large room.
  5. We have room to add more sessions. Sue Carson has been organizing sessions in which we want to collect materials for best practices.  That will add more break-out sessions and/or change some of the outcomes from discussion to sharing materials.
  6. Kevin Padian will do a workshop in break-out session #1 on Narrative and “anti-narrative” in science:  How scientists tell stories, and don’t.
  7. I am anticipating that most sessions will not require notetakers. I’ve asked Rosemary to be the notetaker on the tracking sessions.  For the sessions in which we want to gather best practices/materials, we’ll probably identify someone to make a list.
