Science 2.0 at SILS

By clock on October 6, 2007.

Jeffrey Pomerantz invited me to give a brownbag lunch presentation on Science 2.0 yesterday at noon at the School of Information and Library Science at University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. It was fun for me and I hope it was fun for the others in the room, about 20 or so of faculty and students in the School.

This was my first attempt at putting together such a presentation, something I will be called on to do several times over the next couple of months and more. I was happy I made it within one hour, excellent questions included, though I probably talked too long about blogs and too little on science video (and barely mentioned Second Life). I'll be working on it in the future. Here are the links I used during the presentation (they will probably give you a pretty good idea what I was talking about):

A few days ago, Nature launched its newest Web 2.0 baby, the Nature Precedings. It is very interesting to see the initial responses, questions and possible misunderstandings of the new site, so browse through these posts and attached comments by Pedro Beltrao, Timo Hannay, Peter Suber (and again…

Thanks! I have a presentation coming up on web 2.0 and science publishing and you have a couple of examples here that I'd not seen before.

Thank you for that link. I bookmarked it for future reference and will mention it in future talks.
