Friday Fun: Some amusing pre-Scio11 tweets

As you read this, I'm on a plane winging my way to the ScienceOnline 2011 conference. It's a great learning, sharing and networking opportunity for anyone interested in the way science happens online. It's highlight of the conference year for me.

It's also a serious hoot. A blast, a party, off the chain.

And it's reflected in the Twitter traffic. Here's a sampling from the last little while.

Research indicates you can basically think yourself to orgasm. I didn't believe it either until I started to follow the #scio11 hashtag.

I set up my #scio11 office in the lobby of Marriott, getting hugs from every attendee as they walk in. Target: 300 hugs over three days!

Changed my oil, topped off the coolant, added wiper fluid, changed the wipers. Looks like I'm ready for a #scio11 road trip!

FYI #scio11 goers, rumor has it there is a pool AND hot tub at the Mariott. Hope you're bringing your ultimate swim fashions!

#scio11 isn't *that* kind of conference! RT @gojiro: @seelix One pair is the thigh-high gold boots, right? :-)

Bourbon? Check. iPhone charger? Check. Teeny Moo biz cards? Check. Spandex truss to prevent hernia from excessive laughing? Check. #scio11

(And this is only a few hours' worth as I write this on Thursday afternoon.)

I'm off today for North Carolina, where I'll be doing some library research, some talks at UNC and at the National Evolutionary Synthesis Center, and then a couple of sessions at Science Online. Expect blogging to be spotty, and I hope to see you at #scio11.
Just now, attendees of Science Online 2011 are getting their #scio11 Swag Bags as they register and prepare for the Keynote.

The women science bloggers conversation is getting so long and elongated, I thought it would be interesting and, I hope, useful to put all the posts in rough chronological order. By rough I mean that I haven't attempted to order the posts within each day of publication.
