ScienceOnline 2010 In Review


I returned today from the ScienceOnline 2010 conference. It was a jam-packed few days of talks, talks, and more talks. By the time I arrived home, I had to decompress from all of the chatter. One thing I didn't do at the conference this year was blog or tweet. Indeed, with 365 days out of the year to spend online, it was a treat to actually put down the computer for a couple of days and speak to people face-to-face and even share a meal or a drink. In the video above, Anton Zuiker, who co-founded the conference with Bora Zivkovic, talks about ideas behind the creation of the ScienceOnline 2010 conference (originally known as the Science Blogging conference). This year's conference only fit around 250 attendees and left behing a long, unhappy waiting list. According to Bora, the conference will very likely grow next year and have additional financial support. The list of sponsoring organizations for this year's conference is already quite impressive. Thanks to Anton and Bora for creating this amazing event.
