upcoming uk trip

I’ll be going to the UK in a few weeks—I leave Seattle on Friday 7/29, and return on Sunday 8/7. Flying into London, then hopping a train to Oxford, where I’ll be presenting my NSF grant research at Crossing Cultures, Changing Lives: Integrating Research on Girls’ Choices of IT Careers. That lasts through August 3rd, after which I’ll head back to London for several days.

While I’m there, I’m really hoping for a blogger meetup of some kind. There are a lot of people “across the pond” whom I’d love to meet (or see again)—Suw Charman, Tom Coates, Gary Turner, Cory Doctorow, Hugh Macleod, and others.

Another stop will (probably) be the Microsoft Research office in Cambridge.

I’m excited about the trip (and happy that I was able to find a direct flight from Seattle to London!).
