“What annual meetings do people attend and find particularly inspiring and informative?”
Thursday at 2:53 pm - Link
Each year, I attend the standard meetings in my field. I'm looking to find new meetings outside of but still related and relevant to my major field of work. I'm curious what meetings do developers in the Science 2.0 / interactive web space attend? - Todd Harris
Access is a good library developer conference, although I don't go every year http://access2008.blog.lib.mcm... JCDL/ECDL are good if you want the more researchy side of digital libraries. In general though these days I'm partial to unconferences and smaller conferences where there's more talking to people, less formal presenting. - Richard Akerman
Todd - I'm moving fields, so I don't have anything I regularly attend. I have, however, been to a lot of BarCamps and unconferences over the last year, and while they've been of variable quality, overall most have been excellent. - Michael Nielsen
Hm. I've enjoyed both JCDL and ASIST, but I'm not heartbroken at not attending them this year or next. Open Repositories is a necessity, but because of my fraught relationship with green open access, it's almost more grin-and-bear-it than enjoyable. I had a fantastic time at Repo Fringe (which was more unconference-y). I dunno. I think I may be burned out on travel, actually. - Dorothea Salo
Well, I organize scienceonlin09.org (aka 3rd Science Blogging Conference), so of course I attend it ;-) Also ConvergeSouth in Greensboro and, if I have money, SRBR (my scientific society - Research on Biological Rhythms) and SICB (Integrative and Comparative Biology). - Bora Zivkovic

My blog is part of and helps create a virtual community engaged with things I care about. When people like my blog posts I feel like I'm doing some good; conversely, I benefit a lot from the feedback and other perspectives. - Michael Nielsen

okay - I said that out loud! Mike said that it can help if we work together for some of those individual goals, esp by regular meetings in person at this sort of event. But Paul Browne said it's possible to not just link to advocacy groups but give them the better kind of information they might not be getting from press releases and so forth. (That was kind of incomprehensible. Hence the use of one's internal editor and why I don't use Twitter.) - Heather
My blog has proven to be the major way I have impact on my niche of my profession. Perhaps that's not how things are "supposed" to go, but it's how they've gone. - Dorothea Salo
Thankyou Heather. I think that's my first ever live electronic contribution to a conference :-) - Michael Nielsen
For me, it's aspects of what both Michael and Dorothea have said. I appreciate both the community it creates and the opportunities/doors it's opened. Also, it's a way for me to really attempt to crystallize my thoughts on various issues. Writing something down makes you think about the issue first, at least a little bit ;-) - John Dupuis
These comments seem to sum up the brainstorming session pretty well! There's a definite large component of selfishness that is leavened by a sense of responsibility to the greater public or community, however you wish to define that. - Heather
Well, I didn't go for to have my blog impact the profession! It definitely started as more-or-less pure self-expression. And then people started READING it. Still blows my mind, that. - Dorothea Salo
Yeah, blows my mind too. Even more when I meet someone for the first time at a conference or something and they already seem to KNOW me. - John Dupuis
YES. BTDT. Makes me want to duck and run. - Dorothea Salo
Ben Goldacre introduced the idea of "microfame" which is quite fun. That you can be happy to meet someone whose ideas you've been following and be a fanboy/girl for them. Instead of 15 minutes of fame, you get 15 people who find you famous. - Heather
I think that sharing thoughts and ideas is the best way to improve ourself. And with the net the ultimate possibility is to be in toucha and contact with all the world. This idea blows up!!! - Piero Giacomelli via bTT

2nd European Conference on Scientific Publishing in Biomedicine and Medicine
August 21 at 11:51 am - Link
What are the tangible benefits and disadvantages of Open Access publishing? Do researchers have to pay for Open Access and should they afford to pay? Is Open Access publishing to the universal good or are there negative repercussions down the line? And where do digital repositories fit into all this? They are free to use, are a complement (not an alternative) to publishing in journals, bring the same enhanced impact as publishing in an OA journal, and still leave authors free to publish in whichever journal they like. - Bora Zivkovic
Can bibliometrics be employed to evaluate research at the level of the researcher, the department, the institute and even at the country or federation level? Are the measures currently being developed sufficiently fair, objective and robust for governing bodies to use them? Is your research being fairly judged? What information are the funding authorities assembling to evaluate whom to fund? - Bora Zivkovic

Praxis #1 - last call for submissions
August 12 at 9:25 pm - Link
The new blog carnival, covering the way science is changing (or not changing enough) in the 21st century - Praxis, is about to start. The call for submissions is now open - send them to me at Coturnix AT gmail dot com by August 14th at midnight Eastern so I can post the carnival on the 15th in the morning. - Bora Zivkovic
The business of science - from getting into grad school, succeeding in it, getting a postdoc, getting a job, getting funded, getting published, getting tenure and surviving it all with some semblance of sanity - those are kinds of topics that are appropriate for this carnival, more in analytic way than personal, if possible (i.e., not "I will cry as my minipreps did not work today", but more "let me explain the reasons why I chose to work with advisor X instead of Y" or "how to give a good talk", or "why publish OA" or "how does an NIH section work?") and perhaps most importantly how the new technology - mainly the Internet - is changing the world of science. I expect a LOT of entries about Open Access, of course.... :-) - Bora Zivkovic
As this is the first edition, you can send in old posts that are good, yours or someone else's. I want to see a lot about publishing, OA, Science 2.0..... - Bora Zivkovic
The first edition is now up: http://scienceblogs.com/clock/... - Bora Zivkovic
