Since graduating from Rice, I've moved to China, then France, and now the Netherlands where I've joined the space community. I was at a space conference here yesterday and mentioned games as a teaching method for decision makers as well as for outreach. The speaker thought I was absolutely nuts, but a man from IBM over here came up to me afterwards and told me that they are working towards an international conference for serious gaming, and I thought of you straight away!
Does your Rice email address still work? At any rate, Djeevan Schiferli is arranging everything and it's apparently going to be super cool...
I'm supposed to be in better touch with him tomorrow, but thought I'd give you his contact information in the mean time.
His email address is: schiferli@nl.ibm.com
