Every year, the Association for Psychological
Science holds their annual convention and this year in 2009 it
was
in San Francisco! I was happy to participate in a project with my
students, including my daughter Karen, on our
presentation looking at 'Loneliness' on Social Media. For serious students
of psychology there can be no better
place to present, interact and learn!

Looking
fashionable at APS!
|
 |
 |
Can't
get enough of Cable cars!

Esteemed journalist and APS executive Wray Herbert joined us for
lunch at Roy's
-- a wonderful respite of Hawaiian fusion cuisine in the middle of
San Francisco!
|
Karen is a foodie
and you can see her
genuine appreciation! |
 |
 |
Me,
Wray and Karen!
|
Back at the
hotel, Karen wanted Coffee! |
 |
 |
One
night we had a wonderful time at Kokkari!
Kokkari Estiatorio has great service, incredible
atmosphere and the best food in San Francisco
and it's Greek!
|
The students were
enthralled in meeting the movers
and shakers in our world of Psychology! John Cacioppo
and his panel added much to their experience at
the convention! |
 |
 |
Can
you tell if someone is lying to you? This was the theme of one
presentation at APS and also the subject of a TV show.
|
|
 |
 |
Much
to see and much to learn!
|
Three speakers on
a fascinating lecture on how the
environment in our experience shapes who we are
through gene expression!
|
 |
 |
With
our "National Treasure" Poster we are on our way to the convention!
|
Ta da! |
 |
 |
|
where's Ben? Here we are in 'costume'
waiting for one more member
of our group to arrive.
|
Starting to get
things together, we answered questions,
passed out pdf flyers of our posters and our paper for
those who wanted more! This was a great experience
for my students who haven't had this experience.
Karen , however, is well experienced presenter!
|
 |
 |
The
internet is such a small world. Karen and I are having an animated
conversation with one of our 'blogging' friends .
|
Pigeons. This
reminds me of my time near the
pigeon lab at Yale! |
| |
|
The 2010 APS Convention will be in Boston!
see you there!
