Below is my MidAmeriCon II speaking schedule: a couple of cancer panels, a couple of space panels, and a reading (yes, something new). Come find me at the Kansas City Convention Center August 17-21 and say hello!

Defining Acceptable Risks in Space Exploration
Friday 8/19/2016 11:00-12:00, 2502B (Kansas City Convention Center)
The further we move into deep space exploration the more we have to ask, to what extent it can be risk-free, or at least risks limited. We consider the risks, what can be done to guard against them, and how much risk do humans need to accept — at least in the early stages.
H.G. Stratmann (M), Henry Spencer, Jerry Pournelle, Janet Freeman-Daily, Frank Wu

Space Technology Spinoffs
Saturday 8/20/2016 16:00-17:00, 2210 (Kansas City Convention Center)
There have been some 2,000 technological products, inventions and ideas trasferred from NASA missions to commercial products and services. Of these, many have made life on Earth better in the fields of health and medicine, transportation, public safety, consumer goods, energy and environment, information technology, and industrial productivity. Panelists discuss their favorite examples of space technology spinoffs.
Mrs. Laurel Anne Hill, Les Johnson, Janet Freeman-Daily (M), Joy Ward, Brenda Cooper

Cancer Treatment
Sunday 8/20/2016 10:00-11:00, 3501H (Kansas City Convention Center)
In the last year fandom has lost many good people to cancer – both fans and creators. Many members of our community are currently being treated or are in remission and more people get diagnosed everyday. Our experts have an informal discussion about how cancer is currently treated and what it will look like in the future.
Janet Freeman-Daily, Dr. Ronald Taylor
