Time to think about our sponsored panel for 2012!
Dear ASA Science and Technology colleagues,
Thank you to those who joined us to discuss the STS caucus in Baltimore. Once again, it’s time for our caucus to select a panel to sponsor for the next ASA meeting in San Juan, Puerto Rico. General panel submissions are due January 26, 2012, so we hope to lock down our sponsored panel no later than January 23rd.
Following the discussion at ASA, your co-chairs of the science and technology caucus, Jason Weems, Monique Laney, and Emily Smith Beitiks, have been discussing how we might form the sponsored panel. We have decided to put the panel selection to a vote, as we did last year.
Therefore, when any panels related to science and technology have full abstracts ready to be submitted to the ASA website, please forward the abstracts to me by January 19th. We will then send all complete panels out for a vote, and based on the responses, we will choose our sponsored panel (it is possible that two panels will be selected, TBD). Since abstracts can be revised at any time up to the final deadline, the sponsored panel can then write at the top of their abstract “This panel is sponsored by the Science and Technology Caucus” and resubmit it to the ASA website by the deadline. And of course, if your panel is not selected, you will still have time to submit your abstract to the general ASA submission.
Need help finding or organizing a panel? Use our Google groups list-serve! (see Announcements for how to join)
So good luck organizing and send me (Emily Beitiks: .(JavaScript must be enabled to view this email address)) all complete panel abstracts by the end of Thursday, January 19th, and be ready to VOTE on 1/20!
All the best,
Emily, Jason, and Monique
