Gene Genie blog carnival: New look, new concept May 19, 2009
Posted by Dr. Bertalan Meskó in Blog Carnival, Blogging, Gene Genie, genetics, Microcarnival, Web 2.0.1 comment so far
I’ve been organizing Gene Genie, a blog carnival about human genes and personalized medicine for 2 years, but it seems it gets harder and harder to organize such blog events. So I came up with the microcarnival idea which means we all can submit our favourite human genetics-related articles and posts and share those in real-time.
I created a Gene Genie Friendfeed room for this purpose. Please subscribe and let’s discover personalized genetics together.

I would like to share my favourite and ongoing projects with you so I can give you a proper introduction to Scienceroll.com.

Last semester, almost 50 students attended the 20 slideshows through 10 weeks and they filled a survey out before and after the course. I launched the second semester for English-speaking students (February – May, 2009). I’m open to launch the same course in Second Life.

Medicine 2.0 Collection: I maintain the biggest collection of links and posts focusing on web 2.0 and medicine.

Medicine 2.0 Microcarnival Edition November 2, 2008
Posted by Dr. Bertalan Meskó in Blog Carnival, Health, Medicine, Medicine 2.0, Microcarnival, Web 2.0.add a comment
The 34th edition of Medicine 2.0 blog carnival is a bit unique because it will be a microcarnival edition for the first time in its history. You can check all the posts and news about the world of medicine 2.0 and health 2.0 out in the Friendfeed room of the carnival.
This is something like an experiment. I used to keep in touch with friends and collegues via e-mail, now I use Twitter. I used to write blog carnival editions as blogposts, now I use Friendfeed if it’s better and easier to update. You will decide…
Why to use Friendfeed as a blog carnival format?
- You can comment on each of the submissions.
- You can submit your best articles automatically.
- It is being updated all the time.
Medicine 2.0 is a blog carnival about the impact of web 2.0 on medicine and healthcare.

I told you about my problems with blog carnivals before. I will update and manage all of my carnivals, but I will also launch a microcarnival on Friendfeed to see whether it works or not. Join that Friendfeed room if you are interested to read web 2.0/medicine related news and blogposts.
