Today, I attended the Professional Development Day conference for the DC Science Writers Association (of which I am now a member). The talks and conversations gave me a lot of things to ponder, so expect some personal musings from me over the next few days. I got to meet a few of my online acquaintances as well, which is always fun, and received some good advice. In other words, I have conferred, and the conferring was good!
