Event on 24 Sept: Scientific Researchers and Web 2.0: Social NotWorking?
Maxine Clarke
Thursday, 04 September 2008 14:41 UTC
Hosted by: The British Library, organized by Sarah Kemmitt. Date/venue: 24 September 2008 from 1800 to 2030 local time at The British Library, 96 Euston Rd, London, NW1 2DB United Kingdom. See here for map and further details.
This free event is the second in the BL’s quarterly café scientifique exploring varied topical issues in science. Timo Hannay, the Publishing Director of nature.com, will introduce the subject followed by a discussion with the audience.
This provocative title aims to stimulate discussion on the following questions:
Is Web 2.0 all about attitudes or technologies?
What can Web 2.0 do for your research?
As a scientist, are there good reasons for getting involved beyond social ‘notworking’?
Web 3.0: another buzzword or a semantic revolution for science on the web?
This event is free but pre-registration is required.

This list of science blogging disciplines by Martin Fenner might be one good topic to discuss.

Well the tickets have been going like hot cakes. The event will also be co-hosted at the Second Nature Island in Second Life, so if you can’t join us in Real Life, please do join us there.

Ok – think I’m organised now and have ticket booked! See you next Wednesday.

Great, see you there.

I’m not sure where the follow up to the evening’s fun is (forum or whatever)..?

Thanks to all that attended the TalkScience event at the British Library last night, including those who attended in Second Life. We hope you enjoyed it!
A special thanks to Timo for introducing the debate and the team at Nature for helping organise the event.
Sorry that we ran out of time with comments and questions still waiting but we hope you continue your discussions in this or a related forum.
Will be posting information about the next TalkScience (10th December) in a new forum in a few week’s time. For those who are interested, the topic will be “Infectious disease: what can evolution do for us?”
