My scientific specialty is chronobiology (circadian rhythms and photoperiodism), with additional interests in comparative physiology, animal behavior and evolution. I am not an MD so I cannot diagnose and treat your sleep problems. As well as writing this blog, I am also the Online Discussion Expert for PLoS. This is a personal blog and opinions within it in no way reflect the policies of PLoS. You can contact me at: Coturnix@gmail.com

To Science Foo or not to Science Foo?

Category: Blogging
Posted on: May 16, 2007 9:09 AM, by Coturnix

Maxine Clark, Attila Csordas, Deepak Singh, PZ Myers, Pedro Beltrao, Jean-Claude Bradley, Pierre Lindenbaum, Peter MR, Andrew Walkingshaw, Anna Kushnir, Timo Hannay, Richard Akerman and yours truly are some of the 200 people invited by Google, Nature and Tim O'Reilly to participate in this summer's Science Foo Camp. Apparently, the last year's camp was a blast. I'll give it another 48 hours to think before I reply, but I hope it is a Yes and that I will go, evangelize for Open Science and learn a lot about the ways it can be implemented.

You should def say YES. FOO events are great casual ways to get to know a variety of folks involved in different areas.And yes yes do advocate for Open Science.

Hi there! I'm really looking forward to it (though as I'm really a mineralogist/physicist, it looks like I'm going to be enormously outnumbered by the life scientists!)

Open Science - well, you'll definitely have PMR on your side there. I'm hoping it'll be one of the themes of the conference.

Correction: I was there last year but I was not invited to go this year :)

Eh, bummer! I was looking forward to meeting you in person!
