Another weekend in California, another mass communications conference. At the International Communication Association conference in San Francisco, MSRG members presented 5 papers for the most part on science (stem cell research, opinion formation about science) but also looking at topics like opinions about Iraq, effects of political discussion, and the interplay between cognitive and heuristic processes. In attendance were Pori, Andy, Kajsa, Michael, Shirley, Dietram, and Sharon.When not engaging with researchers in our field from around the world, we wandered cluelessly around the Tenderloin in search of food and drink. And, of course, hit the sights of Pier 39 (with its outrageous conglomeration of sea lions), Fisherman's Wharf, Alcatraz, and North Beach.
Congratulations to everyone for an outstanding representation of
the work being done at Wisconsin. Many of us found out about papers submitted for the AEJMC conference in August - not in California this time, but Washington, D. C. - so look for that information to be updated soon on the conferences page of the MSRG website.
