Nature blogging
Aquest cap`de setmana ha tingut lloc a Londres l’event Nature Blogging. M’ha sapigut greu no haver-hi pogut anar, pequè em semblava una bona ócasió per aprendre sobre blogs i ciència.
És interessant el programa de la conferència: hi ha via sessions de Lunch and networking; Announce afternoon unconference sessions sense tema prefixat, lliures… No hi he trobat les actes de les xerrades i discussions, però serà interessant veure-les quan es publiquin.
De les xerrades en deien breakouts. Per exemple,
Breakout 1: There’s a giraffe on my unicycle: Can blogging unlock your creativity?
Poincaré talked about ideas like gas molecules colliding in the room of his mind; Einstein talked about dreams; and Archimedes was in his bath when it hit him…that lightbulb going on, that great insight, that EUREKA MOMENT when two apparently unrelated ideas come together. Can blogging be a useful catalyst for creativity? Using a few examples from our own experiences as a springboard, we intend this to lead to a workshop/discussion on how blogging can help us create. Please bring your giraffe and your unicycle along with you.
Hi va haver una taula rodona, que té una descripció notable:The scientific life, exposed
Mistrust of scientists is common, and misinterpretation of scientific results rampant. Science blogs can serve as a bridge between scientists and the general public. Blogs build a community of scientists in which they can discuss the peculiarities of their jobs, their work, and their results. More than that, science blogs have the power to demystify the scientific process for the public and to reverse deeply held stereotypes of scientists. In this session, we will discuss how science blogs can change the public’s perception of scientists and provide a support framework for scientists themselves.
La llista d’assistents indica que gairebé tothom era de l’entorn de Londres. No hi sapigut veure cap català. Aquest llista proporciona moltes adreces de blogs de ciència, miraré d’explorar-la.
