EVTH10: Humor and Science: A Comical Look at Ourselves<br />
Thursday, <strong>February</strong> 23, 18:00 – <strong>20</strong>:00, Room 250 A, B, D, E<br />
Organizers: Jules S. Jaffe, Scripps Inst. of Oceanography/UCSD, jules@<br />

This independent, evening session, outside of the scientific program,<br />
will be devoted to finding the humor in science, and presenting a lighter<br />
side of ourselves and our research to our colleagues. We solicit 15-minute<br />
satirical presentations exposing the humorous underbelly of our<br />
field in the vein of “The Onion,” the “Annals of Improbable Research,”<br />
or “The Far Side” cartoons. Talks will marry the keen observational<br />
powers of the scientist and humorist to show how alternate interpretations<br />
of facts can lead to fascinating and humorous conclusions. As<br />
examples of talks, the co-conveners are planning on presenting “The<br />
Gefilte Oceanographer” (Jaffe) and “The Great Sunglass Die-off of<br />
<strong>20</strong>09” (Franks). We invite our <strong>com</strong>munity to participate in a forum that<br />
will permit us to convey a different, entertaining, and thought-provoking<br />
view of ourselves and our culture, however we will discourage and<br />
even reject talks “in progress” that are vindictive and personal.<br />
Workshops and Town Hall Meetings<br />
EVS01: COESEE Professional Development for Scientists<br />
(Workshop)<br />
Sunday, <strong>February</strong> 19, 8:00 – 17:00, Hotel Monaco<br />
Organizers: Janice McDonnell, Rutgers University, mcdonnel@marine.<br />
rutgers.edu; Carrie Ferraro, Rutgers University, ferraro@marine.rutgers.edu<br />
Scientists are increasingly being asked to <strong>com</strong>municate the “broader<br />
impacts” of their work. This workshop will build the foundation for<br />
attendees to think creatively about how their research will impact their<br />
education goals and, conversely, how their education activities will feed<br />
back into their research. When research and education are effectively<br />
interconnected, the process of discovery can help stimulate learning<br />
and the resulting research can be <strong>com</strong>municated to a broader audience.<br />
