People
You cannot see the feedback that many participants at ScienceOnline2010 have already provided to Anton and me (keep them coming - we take the responses very seriously), but the recurring theme for the "highlight of the conference" question was "Meeting the People"; and the main request for the future is "provide more time for informal conversations".
You will see even more of that kind of sentiment if you peruse the growing list of blog coverage. Or glean it from photographs posted on Flickr and Picasa here, here, here, here and here. Or on YouTube videos here and here....

The conference is only a couple of days away!!!!!
I have introduced the participants, and the Program over the past couple of months on my blog. Today, we'll go into the night....the dark side! There are three evenings during the meeting, thus three evening events for participants. Importantly, all three are also open to locals (or whoever is in town that day) who are not registered to attend the main program of the conference:
On Thursday night, for those early birds whose flights from far-away places bring them in on Thursday, as well as for the locals who are already here, we will have a…

We are in the final stretch - it is getting really exciting!
Today I'd like to remind you, if you are registered for the conference, to add your name (by editing the appropriate wiki page) to one of the Friday Tours:
Coffee Cupping at Counter Culture Coffee
It's cold in the morning, and nothing helps better than the smell of fresh, hot coffee. And learning some science of coffee: from how it is grown to how it gets to the final consumer.

If you are coming to ScienceOnline2010 and you have checked the amazing Program there, you have noticed that there will be a set of hands-on workshops on Friday morning.
If you will be attending (and even if you are not registered for the rest of the conference but will be in town on that day), you can sign up for workshops now - one 10am and one 11am worskhop. How do you sign up? By editing the Workshops page of the wiki - just add the number (up to 50 per session) and your name under the titles of workshops you want to participate in.
How do you choose which two workshops to attend?
If you…
amillikan | February 2, 2009It's become something of a tradition here at ScienceBlogs to write series of posts that are published on Fridays. For example, Janet from Adventures in Ethics and Science writes Friday Sprog Blogging, a tribute to her inquisitive offspring, and Abel from Terra Sigillata has been known to author a Friday Fermentable series about his explorations into fine wine—he even brought the column to life during ScienceOnline'09. So we here at Seed thought it time to pay tribute to the efforts of these dedicated bloggers, as we too salute this glorious day.
