The theme for this year's Professional Development Day is "renewing your career." Sessions include a plenary on coping with change, the ever-popular pitch slam, a panel on how to shoot and edit video, and another on why you might want to, and a plenary on harnessing social media. The cost (which includes continental breakfast and lunch) is $50 for members, $25 for students, and $60 for non-members. AAAS has generously allowed us to use its space for free this year, so Professional Development Day will again be conveniently located at 1200 New York Avenue NW (near Metro Center).
