#soSEA 1: Shared Science

ScienceOnlineSeattle is a monthly discussion series exploring how the internet is changing how we do and share our science. Our inaugural event on April 16, 2012 was about "Shared Science: new realities for research and outreach in a networked world."

  1. The Lead Up

  2. ScienceOnlineSeattle exists because of the phenomenal annual conference and www.ScienceOnlineNOW.org community. It was specifically inspired by ScienceOnlineNYC (#soNYC) and catalyzed by conversations with Lou Woodley and John Timmer as well as a friendly competition with the organizers of ScienceOnline Bay Area.
  3. It's finally here! #soSEA MT @scioSEA: Prep for ScienceOnlineSeattle tonight: hydrate, stretch, warm up tweet-reflexes! ScienceOnlineSeattle.org
  4. The Event

  5. The topic for discussion:  Shared Science: new realities for research and outreach in a networked world
    Overview: The digital age is profoundly reshaping our information landscape, challenging us with an unprecedented opportunity to transform how we conduct and communicate research. ScienceOnlineSeattle will kick off with an exploration of what exactly it means to do science in a digital world. How does it work? Who is involved? What are their incentives? Where do we go from here? Join us as we explore how our worlds are changing and the new realities and future.
