sciblog – join saturday’s Science Blogging Conf online

If, like me, you can’t make it to London for Nature’s Science Blogging Conference being held at the Royal Institution then join us online. This post is an attempt to point to all the online goodness so you can join in or just watch online. Tis an all day event GMT +0, so for us Aussies that means the first half of the event happens before midnight Saturday night.

UPDATE:

Live video stream HERE thanks to Cameron.

Our first podcast just published HERE – thanks lisa!

The TWITTER action faded after lunch.
Great summary of final panel session HERE.
