Editor's Corner

editorialASEP-National Meeting & Conference 
 
Despite the electricity-crippling, flight-delaying blizzard, Exercise Physiologists congregated from all corners of the country and even abroad to make 2008 a successful event. It was a wonderful combination of scientific and professional talks. Thank you to everyone who fought their way to Duluth or gave it their best shot! Please enjoy a few pictures from the meeting and check-in at www.asep.org as more pictures are added to the web site in coming weeks.

Ask the EP
Q.) Can you offer some information in the ASEP-Newsletter that would help Exercise Physiology students and other EPs connect with each other? Thanks! 

A.) Martin Rittenberry, a student from St. Scholastica, offered this description of a way to do just that: ASEP has a Facebook page: (http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=14644281978) which he describes as an online opportunity for ASEP members to network with each other while also being a hub for general information and current events in our growing field.

Martin also notes that: 'I believe you have to be a facebook member to at least view the group, but it is open to anyone who wants to join.'  This is correct. This editor clicked the link above, signed up and uploaded several pictures from the ASEP 2008 meeting in minutes.  

Thank you Martin and everyone who is trying this new way to network.
