Notes on break-out sessions:
- Second column is how many registrants expressed an interest
- Below the chart I’ve included a list of full names
- “TBD” is “To be determined”. If a cell is blank, currently we don’t have that topic in that session.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
