Hi Bora! Thanks for helping us get the word out :)
Anyone that would like to be involved in the SCC is welcome to check out our homepage at scicommconsortium.com. Currently, our events are limited to the NYC area but we have written summaries of past events and a podcast of our panel discussion last April, all available online.
I'd also encourage you to take our short survey, via the link on our website, to let us know what online resources you'd like to see us incorporate during this upcoming year.
