Having just recovered from the jetlag and sleep deprivation, I realise other conferences attended to date are bronze and silver by comparison to scifoo, which sets a gold standard. Here are some moments that help to illustrate why Scifoo’s Gold.

I’m looking forward to attending and meeting all the other foo campers, who look like an eclectic bunch of scientists. It will also be fun to have a look around the Googleplex headquarters in California and experience an unconference style event. According to some of the promotional material, there may be a chance to meet Google co-founders Larry Page and Sergey Brin. So I’m wondering, given the chance, what interesting questions could you ask them?
