The power of Second Life

November 11, 2007

I use Google Calendar extensively. Among the various calendars I subscribe to is one of science events in Second Life



As you can see there is a ton of good stuff going on. Unfortunately, the best events, like the various Second Nature Lecture Series and the Scifoo Lives On events are usually at times when I can’t make it.

Anyway, the point of this post is that the one time I did make it to one of those events, I gave a talk on Bioscreencast. There, Bronwen got interested in screencasting and this week she uploaded a couple of screencasts. I think those who might have an image of Second Life as a place for weird furry creatures and adult activities, should take a look at it again, as a place where science can move forward as well. There is a good reason why we called our company SciForward. Second Life is, at least in one persons opinion, just one such site, that moves science forward.
