Second Life is a virtual world with more and more educational resources and in this series, I try to keep you up-to-date about these.

• Second Life, Education: Health Science Endeavors in Second Life? Always growing! (EBM and Clinical Support Librarians@UCHC):A really comprehensive compilation of what we have now in Second Life in the medical field.

• Search in Second Life Opens Up! (Health & Medicine in Second Life): The new build-in browser in SL opens up massive opportunities to search in web-based resources out there on the Web.

• The site of Second Nature on Nature.com is quite impressive:

• International Virtual Association of Surgeons (iVAS) Conference in Second Life (Resilient Ambassadors of Change):

No travel arrangements, no hotel, no last minute flight hassles, no cost, no jet lag–in no time I’m at an international conference with surgeons and experts in virtual patients, telerobotics, and using eye tracking to separate the novice from expert surgeons.

• Please join the debate! (A Sexual Health SIM in Second Life® (University of Plymouth)):

Why 3D? Web conferencing: 2D vs. 3D (or both), or ‘Why conduct events and meetings in Second Life?’
