Thursday, 07 January 2010

Sign-up online to experience ScienceOnline2010 next week, January 14-17, a conference bringing science and media together in an event to explore science on the Web. The goal of this event is to bring together scientists, physicians, patients, educators, students, publishers, editors, bloggers, journalists, writers, web developers, programmers and others to discuss, demonstrate and debate online strategies and tools for doing science, publishing science, teaching science, and promoting the public understanding of science. Annie Crawley will be speaking about the trip to the North Pacific Gyre with Project Kaisei and Scripps Institution of Oceanography.

Social Media and blogging is changing the world of how we get our news. This conference brings everyone together to discuss and raise awareness about current science and disseminating information to the public. The internet has been around for 15 years, and as a teenager has completely revolutionized the way our world is connected. ScienceOnline2010, now in its fourth year, is one of the best ways to raise awareness and partner people together.
