While most of the sessions at ScienceOnline09 will be highly interactive, we have also planned for a Sunday morning series of demos, or "show-and-tell" sessions. This will be a series of short (12-15 minutes) demos of various websites, blogs, applications, programs, etc. We will try to record and post screencasts of these demos on the wiki as well.

The line-up is quite impressive:

* Corie Lok: Nature Network
* Erin Jonson: Scienceblogs.com
* Dave Munger - ResearchBlogging.org
* Apryl Bailey: SciVee.tv
* Moshe Pritsker: JoVE
* Victor Henning: Mendeley
* Antony Williams: ChemSpider
* Kevin Emamy: CiteULike
* Neeru Paharia: AcaWiki - a wiki of open-access long abstracts of peer-reviewed research
* Jean-Claude Bradley: Doing chemistry in Second Life
* Vedran Vucic: Blog aggregators for public health information in Serbia
* Sol Lederman - US Dept of Energy Office of Scientific and Technical Information - Powerful Resources for Scientists and Researchers. Discuss here.
* Roger Harris: how to put your story on a dozen networks, sites and services in 15 minutes or less.

I'm a sucker (new, improved demos, with polls!)

Last week's post on how sound affects perception of visual events was the most popular post ever on Cognitive Daily, with over 15,000 visits.

Spore Creature Creator

If Opabiniahad left descendants, what would they have looked like? That was the question on my mind as I fiddled around with the new Spore Creature-Creator last Friday night, tweaking my virtual creation this way and that in a bit of speculative biology.

Uh-oh! It's more scientific graphics for the creationists to steal!

Never mind that, though — Hybrid Medical Animation has a lovely demo reel of cells and molecules bouncing around.

Kids like demos

Sometimes I get asked to do some demos for kids. I like this, it is fun. This week, I was asked to do just such a demo. Kind of as a historical record, I am going to document what I did.
