With any luck, we’re on a United flight this morning from San Francisco to Honolulu.
The past two days were spent at a hotel in the Berkeley Marina, where the Western Society of Criminology was holding its annual conference.
This year was special, as they presented Meda with the first Meda Chesney-Lind Award, a new award which will carry her name. It is for significant contributions on the intersection of women and crime.
Aha! Forget the Oscars…make way for the Medas!
A number of her current and former graduate students were able to attend, so Meda got lots of support. When I get home, I’ll post the video of the presentation and Meda’s brief comments.
Here’s the view at dawn when we arrived in Berkeley a couple of days ago. The fishing pier is maintained as part of a state park.
We’re looking forward to freeing Duke and Silverman from the vet’s, where they have been boarding, and then getting home to see all the rest of the feline family.
Congratulations to Meda!
Congrats to Meda! I am just amazed that she has managed to accomplish so much as an author, speaker, and professor. Way to go, Meda!
Congrats to Meda for her accomplishments & award!
WOW! Way to go Meda! What an amazing accomplishment!
Way cool as we used to say. I just hope UH publicity people run with the story.
Congrats to Meda! And I agree, she deserves local recognition also.
You were steps from one of my favorite places in San Francisco – the world’s most dangerous playground! AKA – the Adventure Playground. It’s the only playground I have ever seen that hits the double whammy of being built with surplus construction materials and being under continual construction by the kids themselves! To get a hammer or a saw, you have to locate five nails on the ground! It’s an amazing place.
We walked by and gawked every morning.
Congratulations to Meda! For her to have an award carrying her name is indeed quite an honor!
