Vienna ISSRM July 2009

While I tend to like to travel to more rural destinations, Vienna is a fantastic city. I had the ISSRM conference there last summer where I presented research on Medical Tourism (topic for a lecture on 22 April 2010).

The photo was shot on one of my walks around the downtown area and is the Staatsoper Opera House. I didn't get a chance to see an opera, but did observe waltzing lessons and had a dinner in a Palace one night. Our hosts put on a great spread. Oh yeah, the paper went well too.

I'd highly recommend Vienna for a trip.

ISSRM in full force

Ok, we had a great time last night in the Rathous (City Hall). Definitely not in Kansas anymore.

While riots in China and Hondurus and other places continue, it is nice to find a group of academics working together to link the social sciences with the natural sciences.

These are my current thoughts before I head to the poster session at the University of Natural Resources and Applied Life Sciences.

ISSRM this weekend

Happen to be in Vienna, Austria this Sunday? Stop on by the Austria Center Vienna for the 15th International Symposium on Society and Resource Management. (My favorite big conference, 400 papers). Can't make if, see the International Association for Society and Natural Resources for more information (http://www.iasnr.org/)/
