Sciencebloggers amok

By tfk on August 20, 2007.

After much planning and coordinating, our munificent overlords at Seed arranged to bring a substantial fraction of the gang here at Scienceblogs together in New York last weekend. Beyond the drinking, the carousing, and the karaoke, it was a great chance to see the other Sciblings and talk science, blogging, and to trash the Sciblings who didn't show up.

I'll have pictures online in a few days, but for now, Bora has some photographic evidence that I moderated a discussion about science and politics. Rob Knop and PZ Myers sat at a table and got along marvelously. The word "framing" even came up, yet we all made it out alive. The discussion was filmed, and excerpts will be posted somewhere around here over the next few months.

In the course of the weekend I also met the gangs from (in no particular order) Living the Life Scientific, Neurontic, The Intersection (both Chris and Sheril), Shifting Baselines, Page 3.14 (Katherine and Ginny), Cognitive Daily (both Mungers), Adventures in Ethics and Science, The Questionable Authority, Highly Allochthonous (which name I pronounced correctly, unlike others), Evolutionblog, Neurotopia, Aetiology, Uncertain Principles, Island of Doubt, The Loom, Denialism, Good Math/Bad Math, Neurophilosophy, Pure Pedantry, Chaotic Utopia, Kevin Beck of Doc Bushwell's Chimpanzee Refuge, Respectful Insolence, Gene Expression, OmniBrain, Thus Spoke Zuska, Evolgen and Retrospectacle.

Somehow Manhattan and our livers all survived the weekend.

I've Been Blog Conned and It Was A Blast
Whew, what a day! I've been to the Second NC Science Blogging Conference, and I've had a blast. The best part was actually to meet loads and loads of blogging friends whom I'd only seen in pictures. Amazing to actually meet them, hug or shake hands, talk and laugh. I even listened in as Bora…
I sense a disturbance in the Force.
It's like the blogoverse suddenly got more concentrated or something. Oh wait, I remember! It's move-in day at the newly completed ScienceBlogs Towers! Look at all those moving vans! Look at all those bloggers! A quick run-down of my new neighbors (and their previous addresses) after the jump…
Meeting My Sciblings
This weekend, Seed Media, our benevolent and beloved corporate overlords, sponsored a Scibling gathering: ScienceBloggers from all over the country (and outside) all gathered in New York, ate, drank, and partied. It made for quite an interesting weekend. I didn't end up being able to hang around…
