Upcoming Travel

Spring Break 2012 woooohooo! I'm going to Cabo!!!!

Not really. But I do have some cool trips lined up.

Institute for Science and Engineering Education Professional Development Program

For most of Spring Break, I'll be over on Maui participating in a workshop aimed at helping people become better teachers of math and science. This four day program run by faculty and staff from the University of Hawaii and UC Santa Cruz targets mostly graduate students and young faculty who are interested in refining the craft of teaching science and engineering to secondary and undergraduate students.

I'm really looking forward to meeting and learning with some colleagues who value STEM education enough to take most of their Spring Break and spend it on the other side of a classroom.

2012 SBP

Shortly after I get back from Maui (about 10 hours, actually), I'll be headed out the door again to attend a conference at the University of Maryland. The 2012 International Conference on Social Computing, Behavioral-Cultural Modeling, and Prediction brings together researchers from sociology, anthropology, computer science, and engineering (among others) to present and discuss the latest work on modeling of human systems.

I'm hoping to get some insight as to where my work into modeling ethnic conflict with game theory fits into the larger scope of behavioral modeling.

Bon Voyage,
Clay
