Starting June 1, the Hynes Convention Center will be buzzing with four (or is it three? we can’t really figure it out) simultaneous and apparently interrelated conferences, sponsored in part by the Cambridge, MA-based Nano Science and Technology Institute:
TechConnect Summit 2008: “Focused on bringing together the world’s top technology transfer offices, companies, and investment firms to locate the most promising technologies and early stage companies from across the globe.”
Clean Technology 2008: “A multi-disciplinary and multi-sector conference on global sustainability addressing advancements in traditional technologies, emerging technologies and clean business practices….[intended to] bring together the entire Clean Technology ecosystem with the goal of accelerating the flow of technologies from the research phase to the viable market phase.”
NSTI Nanotech 2008: “The largest and most comprehensive technical and business event in nanotechnology world-wide with over 30 technical and business symposia.”
NSTI Bio Nano 2008: “The largest and most comprehensive technical and business event in nanotechnology world-wide with over 30 technical and business symposia.” (Yeah, we know it sounds the same.)

Between 2007 and 2014, I was a staff editor for Xconomy in Boston and San Francisco.
Since 2008 I've been writing a weekly opinion/review column called VOX: The Voice of Xperience. (From 2008 to 2013 the column was known as World Wide Wade.)
I've been writing about science and technology professionally since 1994. Before joining Xconomy in 2007, I was a staff member at MIT’s Technology Review from 2001 to 2006, serving as senior editor, San Francisco bureau chief, and executive editor of TechnologyReview.com. Before that, I was the Boston bureau reporter for Science, managing editor of supercomputing publications at NASA Ames Research Center, and Web editor at e-book pioneer NuvoMedia.
I have a B.A. in the history of science from Harvard College and a PhD in the history and social study of science and technology from MIT. I've published articles in Science, Technology Review, IEEE Spectrum, Encyclopaedia Brittanica, Technology and Culture, Alaska Airlines Magazine, and World Business, and I've been a guest of NPR, CNN, CNBC, NECN, WGBH and the PBS NewsHour. I'm a frequent conference participant and enjoy opportunities to moderate panel discussions and on-stage chats.
