"Certain themes recurred. One was the need to do a better job of open sourcing data within the science community, including negative results; such sharing would enable collaboration and prevent scientists from "reinventing the wheel." A number of seminars also addressed the more quotidian concerns of studying science, from navigating office politics in academia to finding ways of making the discipline more exciting to young people. Many talks were also informed by specific social and humanitarian concerns, such as how Google can help detect emerging global pandemics, how genomic testing can help people prevent diseases, and, in a nutshell, what we can all do to ensure the long-term survival of the human race." - Attila Csordas via Bookmarklet

Its a bit distributed but a google blog search ought to pin a lot of posts down. I don't know that anyone managed a great deal of live blogging. - Cameron Neylon

Intended to get a bit more going in the SciFoo camp room rather then over promoting my own blog posts... :) - Cameron Neylon

There was some talk of organising an Open Science specific meeting on the Monday 11th. Do people feel we'll have enough time during BBC and SF or is it worth having another session to wrap up conclusions on O-Sci? Perhaps even at a coffee shop at SFO? - Cameron Neylon
