A little milestone occurred last week that I managed to miss in the flurry of recuperating from Science Online: Ya Like Dags? reached its second year of existence. This humble corner of the ocean blogosphere started on January 25th, 2010, as a means of documenting…
Later this week I’ll be journeying to Raleigh, North Carolina for Science Online 2012, a celebration of all things science on the internet. Rather than the traditional “see a bunch of talks” format that I’m used to at conferences, Science Online is composed of a…
