The lecture lifestyle.

Two more this week. The first was on post-fire salvage logging in SW Oregon. Very dissappointing. It seemed like neither OSU professor actually gave any sort of opinion. They also filled their talks with technical jargon that was probably only understood by the loggers and hard-core environmentalists in the room. There was a lot of grumbling all around.

The second was also sort of dissappointing. Oddly, I don't think it would have dissappointed at all if it was in a room with 50 people, but it was a standing room only ballroom in a downtown hotel. I thought this guy was gonna be rock star--but he turned out to be an average academic.

Neither lecture warrants a link.

Oh, ok. The geographer deserves one just because radical geography is cool. Maybe if he was miked better...?
