At lunch today we heard a cool talk by Lee Brasseur about fetal ultrasound and the effect of graphic representation on patient perception. She led a workshop tonight on semiotics and graphic design, but I needed to do some more work on my dissertation proposal so I bowed out and came back to my room.
If you haven't read Dr. Brasseur's article "Florence Nightingale's Visual Rhetoric in the Rose Diagrams" (TCQ 2005, 14:2) then you should. Excellent example of how a TC article can be informative, clear, useful, and passionate.
Tonight's after-dinner activity was Pub Night with Locke Carter and Fred Kemp. It was a long table with about twenty or so people attending, so I didn't actually get to talk with Fred. He's my diss director, so I was kind of planning on having tonight to chat a bit. But I got a ride home with him, so that's something. Just goes to show, you should take the chances you get to talk to your diss director.
