Blogging
clock | November 4, 2006Some of you may remember last year when I followed ColinMcEnroe's blogging class up at Trinity College in Hartford CT. Well, I should have expected it, but I forgot and nobody told me that they are at it again. Check all the students' blogs on the sidebar - some cool blogging going on there. I just noticed they have mentioned me, but teh context completely alludes me...
You can see some posts in which I have mentioned or discussed last year's class here:

clock | October 31, 2006Check out the freshly unvailed Open Healthcare Manifesto, designed to foster "open media" in healthcare and medicine and to implement "some sort of a new "integrity standard" ... needed to help people sort through the junk that openness unfortunately tends to generate."

clock | October 31, 2006You may be aware of the $5000 scholarship for students who are science bloggers.
Now the 10 finalists have been announced and you should go here to cast your vote.
I have initially nominated (and will vote for) Jenna (Jennifer Wong) of Cyberspace Rendezvous which is, in my opinion, the best student science blog around at this time and I hope you vote for her (but I cannot blame you if you choose Shelley instead).
What are the techie blogs doing on that list I have no idea. I do not think those are science blogs, but I am not running the contest. So, do your part to help a real science…
clock | October 31, 2006I have a couple of subscription for Google News e-mail notifications for terms like "circadian" and what-not. This makes me informed fast enough for what I need (i.e., making a decision to blog or not about the news). Usually, I'd get 2-3 new entries for the "circadian" search-term each day (and even less for some other terms). A couple of days ago, I noticed that I am getting dozens. What is interesting that the entries are not from MSM or places like EurekAlert, but from blogs and MySpace!
So, what is the purpose of Google News? If I want to see what all websites have, I'll use Google…

clock | October 29, 2006Just a quick note. I finally got to meet Chris Mooney, my fellow Seed Scienceblogger and the author of The Republican War on Science.
On Saturday, we met early enough to have coffee and a little chat before his book-reading and signing event at Quail Ridge Books in Raleigh. The long weekend in local schools (Friday off in Orange Co. and Monday off in Wake Co.) and a break in bad weather we had recently propably prompted a lot of locals to make that last trip out of town for the year this week, so the size of the crowd was not as impressive as it could have been, but those present were good…

clock | October 26, 2006There is a new study out on computer and internet use in Serbia (via). Several things immediately jumped out at me: how many people connect by modem, how many connect from home (as opposed to work, school, etc.), how big is the rural/urban divide, and how many people think they have no use for the Internet and expect never to use it in their lives.
I have a feeling that these findings are quite different from other countries (not to mention the US). I'd like to know what are the equivalent numbers in other countries in which such studies have been done.
The numbers in Serbia may be also a…

clock | October 24, 2006There has been an exciting new addition fo the Conference Program - a new break-out session:
Illustrating your posts: Rosalind Reid, editor of American Scientist Magazine, leads a discussion about using photographs, illustrations, video clips and other multimedia to offer blog readers other ways to learn about science.
See what's new at the conference homepage. See how you can help spread the word about it here.
And speaking of illustrations and multimedia as science educational tools, you should check out THE FILTER, a BoingBoing of science. Learn more about it here.
