OpenLab08

We are busy preparing for The Open Laboratory 2008.

Submit one, or two, or several - no problem. Or ask your readers to submit for you. Then take a look at your favourite bloggers and pick some of their best posts - don't worry, we can deal with duplicate entries. Do not forget new and up-coming blogs - they may not know about the anthology - and submit their stuff as well. As we did last…

First, there was the First NC Science Blogging Conference. Then, there was the Second NC Science Blogging Conference. And yes, we will have the Third one - renamed ScienceOnline'09 to better reflect the scope of the meeting: this time bigger and better than ever. ScienceOnline'09 will be held Jan. 16-18, 2009 at the Sigma Xi Center in Research Triangle Park, NC. Please join us for this free three-day event to explore science on the Web. Our goal is to bring together scientists, bloggers, educators, students, journalists, writers, publishers, Web developers and others to discuss,…
Two years ago, when we all got together and did this, the result was this. Last year, when even more of us got together and did this, the result was this. Now, with the new editor, we are ready to do this again! The Open Laboratory 2008 is in the works.

Reed and I met this morning and shipped off the authors' copies of the OpenLab 2007 to the international addresses, then packaged and addressed the US ones which I will send out on Monday. We already got our first submission for the Open Laboratory 2008. You can get started, too - the submission form is here.
Jennifer and I are ready - you can start submitting your entries for the Open Laboratory 2008 using this automated form. We'll have buttons/badges ready in a few days as well (or if you are idle, you can make them and help us out: the color for the year is orange-red). What is eligible? Blog posts written by you (or a favourite blogger you read) and posted between December 21st 2007 and December 1st 2008. Bookmark the form and keep the entries coming throughout the year - whenever you read a cool science post remember to submit it.
Yes, that time has come....Going it alone in 2006 was far too much work for one person. Reed Cartwright was the first guest editor in 2007 and this was a perfect solution. So, going on into the new year and new victories, it is now time to announce the Editor of the Open Laboratory 2008. Drumroll.... The anthology editor for this year will be Jennifer Rohn!!! Jennifer is a post-doc in cell biology at University College London, she blogs at Mind The Gap and is the Editor of LabLit.com. Stay tuned for more book-related news soon. The new submission form will be available very soon as well…
