Description

The topic for this event is ‘Scientific Researchers and Web 2.0: Social NotWorking?’ and we plan for this to be a quarterly café scientifique format event 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?
