clock | February 4, 2010Description: What role does podcasting play in science? In fact, it plays many. More than just a way to broadcast ideas, podcasting is the beginning of a conversation, it is the archiving of methodologies, it is news, it is marketing, and much more. We will discuss the many ways that podcasting technology and techniques can be used to help you reach your communication goals.

clock | January 27, 2010Tonight at 9:30pm, I will be the online guest of the Math 2.0 community, invited by Maria Droujkova, to talk about the organizational aspects of ScienceOnline2010 as they are interested in organizing something similar for the online math community.
We'll do the webinar on Elluminate, so if you have not used it before you need to try to log in a few minutes ahead to go through all the hoops, downloads, etc. We'll be in this room - just click on the link and follow the directions. Make sure your volume is up.
clock | January 27, 2010You are a young journo. You get an assignment. You don't know where to start. But you follow and are followed by a bunch of scientists and science journalists you just met at ScienceOnline2010. So you tweet.....and within minutes your story takes off:
cassierodenberg: Starting to work on a lede graph for a story on plant-based medicines. Wish I could float off to a picturesque field right about now.
BoraZ: @cassierodenberg you may want to interview @abelpharmboy for that - he's the expert!
cassierodenberg: Twitter first: Updated status, then emailed by @abelpharmboy, scientist willing to lend…
clock | January 27, 2010One of the nice benefits of hosting ScienceOnline conferences is that I sometimes get presents. The one that I find totally fascinating that I got this year is the 2009 issue of Phlogiston, the Journal of History of Science published once a year in Serbian language - print only (the journal does not even have a homepage).
I got this issue from Jelka Crnobrnja-Isailovic who came all the way from Serbia to do a session on challenges to Open Access in developing countries together with her friend and colleague Tatjana Jovanovic-Grove.
The 2009 issue of Phlogiston is dedicated to Darwin and the…
clock | January 26, 2010One of the things I picked up from the hallway tables at Sigma Xi during the ScienceOnline2010 meeting were four latest issues of the American Scientist:
Now that I found a moment to sift through them a little bit, I got reminded why I think (and always thought) this is currently the best popular science magazine. Others have closed doors, or gradually declined, or went all sensationalist. But American Scientist keeps on publishing Good Stuff. I really need to support them, so, I promise that today I will subscribe to the print edition.
clock | January 25, 2010A few months ago, London Times started a new science section called Eureka. The Brits over on Nature Network are reading and critiquing it, mainly for its huge, gender disparity, both in the authors and in the number of scientists portrayed and in the ways they are portrayed. But this is not available to people here in the USA and I wanted to see it for myself. I actually I tried to get them to send 250 or so copies for our swag bag at ScienceOnline2010, but that did not work out this year. So I was very happy when Simon Frantz walked in the hotel and saw me and pulled out these two issues he…
clock | January 25, 2010Last week's ScienceOnline2010, our fourth annual science communication conference in North Carolina, was our biggest, best and most successful event yet, and from the long list of blog and media coverage and the Flickr pictures, YouTube videos and Twitter mentions of the conference (all using the tag #scio10), it certainly seems the BlogTogether spirit was coursing through the 267 participants.
Anton and I can't be happier, or more proud, of what this conference achieved. More than anything, we are astounded by the openness with which so many people came together to share, explore, question,…
clock | January 24, 2010As four contestants during the Saturday banquet knew (or guessed correctly), every year after a successful ScienceOnline conference, Anton and I get a few days of rest, then get together, look at all the feedback you give us in the feedback form and on blogs, balance the books, start planning for the next one and....have a shot of slivovitz, the uber-strong Serbian plum brandy. Well, I just came back home from Anton's house and here is the photographic evidence - see you all next year!
Oh, you wanted to actually see us drink it? For that you need to go under the fold:
