The popular BBC Radio show The Naked Scientists will be broadcasting live into the virtual world Second Life starting this Sunday, 2 March at 18.00 GMT (10:00 AM PST).
They have an island with a nice mansion and lots of comfortable chairs where you can listen to the show with other science enthusiasts and discuss whatever comes to mind. It’s in the middle of the sim named ‘SciLands’. If you already have a Second Life account, here’s a direct link to their mansion
Dave Taylor has some of the back story on his blog (Knowledge Transfer Innovations).
Oo, I like the naked scientists. I’ll try and make it. (And I’ll follow your link – using the search term ‘naked’ in the SL search engine might yield some diverting results).
Yup, Dr Chris Smith & co. are great.
I have RAM techy problems here and my PC can’t process the SL platform :-(
Hope all goes well for those who show up.
I wish SL had a wireframe mode or something similar for people with less processing power. My forays into SL have usually been too choppy to be useful.
