I'll post more information as it becomes available, but briefly: we are having it, economic crisis or not. Sigma Xi is the likely venue (but…

Science Online London 2009 will take place on Saturday August 22, 2009 at the Royal Institution of Great Britain in London, co-hosted by Nature Network, Mendeley and the…

I know it's been a couple of months now since the ScienceOnline'09 and I have reviewed only a couple of sessions I myself attended and did not do the others. I don't know if I will ever make it to reviewing them one by one, but other people's reviews on them are under the fold here. For my previous reviews of individual sessions, see this, this, this, this and this.

clock | February 19, 2009Miss Baker and two of her students, Erik and Brandon, who you have met at ScienceOnline'09, appeared on a New Hampshire NPR affiliate station today - you can (and really should!) listen to the entire segment here.
Also see their blog post about it, some pictures from the studio, and how nervous they were just before the show started.
