[ RadSafe ] IRPA 12 Congress in Buenos Aires

[Brennan, Mike (DOH)]

On a different but related topic, I encourage anyone on RadSafe who is
even a little interested in science fiction to think about attending
science fiction/fantasy conventions.  There are cons in most area, and
most cons are always looking for hard science type people to be on
panels (panelists get free registration for most cons).  It is an
opportunity to talk with a portion of the public that is often receptive
and usually bright, and a chance to talk to authors who are often quite
interested in getting the technology correct, if someone will help them
(I've done it several times, and have been thanked at the beginning of
the book).  Also, if you don't can't find fun at a science fiction
convention, you should consider getting your fun meter recalibrated.
