Now if only AAAS would consider hosting a webcast/podcast of the meetings! There are so many lectures that I would love to attend... S&T and economic growth, management and leadership issues in collaborative R&D arangements, just to name the first two that caught my eye!
Alas, a trip to St. Louis for a full-time MA student and WB employee looks like its not in the cards. Hopefully they'll publish the proceedings as soon as things are wrapped up. Previous AAAS conferences I've attended (especially last year's on the Knowledge Economy) were really good about putting material up on the web. Fingers-crossed!
Thanks for sharing the news.
