Now, the task of organizing who talks when! Looking forward to seeing lots of you at the conference in October. We will be working on the program organization, and will keep you posted on our progress. Caroline, Just to add to your burden in scheduling, I want to offer a reminder of the now long-standing agreement (four years) between the AoIR board and the Carl Couch Center for Social and Internet Research (CCCSIR) to have a panel at which to present the Carl Couch student research award at the AoIR conference. Deadline for our submissions is this weekend. We will have the names of the first, second and third choice student paper winners and their paper titles for you by June 15. I will serve as the respondent for the panel. For now, we just need you to hold a slot for us. This is usually a fairly small event -- we get a dozen or so people to hear the papers, though a couple years ago we had at least twice that many -- but it is certainly important to the students involved. Steve Jones or Nancy Baym can fill you in on the history, and of course, you may direct questions to me. Thanks! -- Mark D. Johns, Ph.D. Asst.
