Science Blogging Conference North Carolina

By jjacquet on January 21, 2008.

The blogging conference in North Carolina--not to be confused with a flogging conference or a logging conference or a jogging conference--is over and I just wanted to share some reviews (due to the nature of the beast, it's been blogged left, right, and center). Check out these links:

Aardvarchaeology's overview

Jennifer Ouellette's take on the Root of all Evil after the Framing Science talk

Our enthusiastic leader Bora's take on the event (plus photos)

Abel Pharmboy's take on framing science and herding cats

In my opinion, the best moment of the conference was Dave Munger's announcement of http://researchblogging.org, a new site that will channel blog posts that cover peer-reviewed literature. Just in time for Just Science 2008, when participants will blog science only posts from February 4th through 8th.

The Difference between the Exxon and BP Spills? Dollars and Photoshop...

September 1, 2010

History repeats itself. Boy does it. This was never more evident than after I finished reading Charles Wohlforth's The Fate of Nature (2010), which has a few ominous chapters dedicated to the Exxon Valdez oil spill. Wohlforth was a journalist who covered the spill in the field and after reading…

Voices from the Spill

In a humble effort at citizen journalism, we went around New Orleans and other parts of the Gulf asking people what they thought of the BP oil spill. Most of victims don't have voices, but here is what a few of the humans thought (they wrote down their opinions or, on occasion, dictated it to us…
