The 35th Annual Humanities and Technology Association (HTA) Conference in 2013 was held at the St. Thomas University, Miami Gardens, Florida.

My session/panel was on the first day, Nov. 7th, 2013, at Kennedy Hall, right beside St. Anthony Chapel:
Dr. Beth Stovell, of STU, ably moderated my panel. First came Dr. Justin Peart (STU) who talked about the costs of CellPhone use, esp. in underdeveloped and developing countries, then came me, then after me came Dr. Jerry Brown, who made a very interesting presentation on 'The HYDROGEN Revolution' [Hydrogen as a better (safer, healthier, life-saving, etc.) energy source].
[L-R: Dr. Peart, Dr. Brown, Dr. Darrell Arnold, Conference Chair, & me]
