Science 2.0 talks in Toronto July 29

A decade ago, people like Jon Udell were imagining how the web could radically change the way science is done. Today, those visions are becoming a reality, and on July 29, you can join us for an afternoon of talks about what’s happening and how it could touch your life. Full details are at http://softwarecarpentry.wordpress.com/guests/ — the event is free, but you must register in advance (as there is limited seating). Our speakers will include:

• Titus Brown: Choosing Infrastructure and Testing Tools for Scientific Software Projects
• Cameron Neylon: A Web Native Research Record: Applying the Best of the Web to the Lab Notebook
• Michael Nielsen: Doing Science in the Open: How Online Tools are Changing Scientific Discovery
• David Rich: Using "Desktop" Languages for Big Problems
• Victoria Stodden: How Computational Science is Changing the Scientific Method
• Jon Udell: Collaborative Curation of Public Events

We look forward to seeing you there!
