I’ve already written several posts about Scifoo but it’s time to sum things up. What is Scifoo?
Sci Foo is an annual, interdisciplinary, invitation-only scientific ‘unconference’ organized by Nature Publishing Group, Google and O’Reilly Media.
Sci Foo ‘09 will be held on July 10th-12th, 2009 at the Googleplex in Mountain View, California.
Please take a look at the posts I’ve published about the sessions I attended and the things I saw:
- Science Foo Camp 2009
- Tweets of Science and PhD Comics
- Scifoo: Virtual Worlds Session
- Prezi: A new generations of presentations
- 3D Radiology
- Scifoo: A visit to the Navigenics HQ
- Whole-Genome Sequencing: Any Useful Data?
Here are a few pictures as well:
