I've just added some new stops on the Chris Mooney "book tour" page. Not that I'm really on "book tour" at the moment, but, er, I certainly am pretty addicted to travel. And so in the next few months I'll be hitting some new spots where I've never given talks before:
Saturday, April 7, 7:00 PM-8:30 PM
California State University Channel Islands
Aliso Hall Auditorium
Camarillo, CA
* Public Lecture sponsored by the Political Science ProgramMonday, April 9, 4:30 PM-6:00 PM
University of Utah S.J. Quinney College of Law
Sutherland Moot Courtroom
Salt Lake City UT
* Public lecture in a place where the audience may be a tad more conservative than I'm used to (which sounds like fun).Thursday, May 10, Time TBA
Stowers Institute for Medical Research
1000 E. 50th St.
Kansas City, MO 64110
* Public lecture with Matthew Nisbet of Seed's "Framing Science" blog.
In addition, I'll be giving a talk with details TBA here in D.C. on March 31, then heading down to New Orleans for the National Hurricane Conference....and will be blogging from there. Hell, I'll even be visiting my mom's FEMA trailer.
And then, of course, I'll also be in Australia for this event in April.
In anticipation of getting some lip about all of this travel, please also know that I just picked up 40,000 more miles on TerraPass, which should at least keep me from going to hell....

Public lecture in a place where the audience may be a tad more conservative than I'm used to (which sounds like fun).
The people you need to worry about are not the students at the U of U (or even the general of public of Salt Lake city, for that matter). They're the profs at the law school (and many of them are not from Utah).
Be sure to take a drive up Little and/or Big Cottonwood Canyon while you're there, if you have not already done so. You won't regret it.
Ahem. There's a glaring omission in there, no visits to the CO Front Range. Please correct this mistake and keep up the good work.
Best,
D
Dark Tent,
Thanks for the tip. I actually have family in Park City....
Dano,
I last got to the Front Range in Feb 2006. I do plan to get back there sometime this year. Stand by....
Salt Lake City isn't so bad. Sure Utah is the Reddest State, but SLC itself is quite liberal. When Bush visited several months back, our mayor refused to treat him like god, and rather than greeting him with open arms at his arrival, held an anti-war rally instead. Good stuff. I think you'll like our fair burg.
I'll see you there!
Chris,
Having lived in Salt Lake for nearly 15 years starting in the early 80's, I know of lots of great places to visit (in addition to Big and Little Cottonwood) -- places that you might not be aware of.
I'd tell you in an e-mail, but certainly never on a blog. Some of these places are rarely visited...except by mountain lions, bobcats, desert tortoises, moutain goats, bighorn sheep, golden eagles (you get the picture).
I wish I could see you there (in Salt Lake, that is). I haven't been back to visit in almost a decade.
Hey, I've got a marketing idea for your new book.
Do a YouTube broadcast from the eye of a hurricane, preferably CAT 4 or better (if you dare).
You could play Neil Young's "Like A hurricane" (or Bob Dylan's Hurricane) in the background (with permission , of course)
Hey Dark Tent,
Email me your tips.
As for YouTubing from the eye of a hurricane...I *dare* but logistically this is rather hard to achieve, as you might well imagine.
I bet you could find someone to take you along for the ride, if you did an article on one of the storm chasers.
I'll email you some interesting places to visit in Utah. Not sure how much time you have on this trip, but I'll give you a few tips on places to visit in the future if you don't have time this trip. I probably only saw the tip of the iceberg while I was there, but what a tip (and trip) it was. Utah is an amazing place.

you may be going to hell anyway, but you'll have Terrapass to keep you company!
Hi Liz,
TerraPass stands by the quality if our offset portfolio. The author of the BusinessWeek article for some reason declined to quote any of the experts or NGO leaders who spoke to the validity of carbon offsets as a means of reducing greenhouse gas emissions and to the quality of TerraPass' projects.
Because we take these criticisms seriously, we are engaging in a public review of the Tontitown project. We believe this review sets a new benchmark for accountability and transparency. It's also an interesting experiment in applied environmental policy. Anyone interested can follow along on our web site:
