Scifoo: Pictures and Comments

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:

Shuttles that took us to Googleplex.

LinkedIn HQ wasn't too far.

We had to write 5 tags about ourselves and 3 people we would invite next year.

It wasn't easy to get a room for your session.

I'm sorry for the last image, but I had to include it. New things to read every day in the toilet.

So it was a one-in-a-lifetime experience and I met incredible people. I hope I will keep in touch with many of them online.
