ScienceOnline2010 - introducing the participants

As you know you can see everyone who's registered for the conference, but I highlight 4-6 participants every day as this may be an easier way for you to digest the list. You can also look at the Program so see who is doing what.

She recently led the Seaplex expedition to the North Pacific Gyre aka Garbage Patch. She blogs on Oyster's Garter, on DoubleX and the Seaplex blog and she tweets both as seaplex and as herself. I interviewed Miriam after the last year's conference. At the next one, Miriam will co-lead a sesion on Talking Trash: Online Outreach from the Great Pacific Garbage Patch and co-moderate the session on Broader Impact Done Right.
