Science Blogging 2008

It seems that Social Notebook was enough to score me an invitation to Science Blogging 2008 at the end of August. I guess this means that I'll have to finish off the site and put a bit of polish on it. As I have said before, while the site is currently invitation only, if anyone thinks they would have fun playing with it, then just drop me an email, or leave a comment on my blog.

The conference looks fantastic, so I'm definitely going to make sure I go (even if it means a transatlantic flight). My blog isn't sufficiently notable in and of itself for me to really feel part of the whole science blogging community. I don't really know any science bloggers in real life outside of the QIP community. I have however exchanged emails with the keynote speaker (Ben Goldacre) over the Steorn debacle, so I am very much looking forward to hearing him speak. It seems I read the blogs of quite a few of the attendees so it will be nice to put faces to pseudonyms.

Unfortunately I have 5 unfinished papers waiting for me to get around to them, so progress on Social Notebook may be slow.
