"I'm at scifoo (Nature/O'Reilly/Google Science Foo Camp) and yesterday heard a talk about the Large Hadron Collider that will go live in a few weeks - and had a disturbing thought. Odds are very good that within the next few years we will see news articles where bigshot physicists say a new LHC result vindicates a theory they've been pushing. But today there are no public predictions by high-profile physicists stated precisely enough to be clearly scored for accuracy!"

I love this place. Alongside Jane Lubchenco, I ran a session on a new social contract for science, looking at the politics of science and the potential for a new breed of citizen scientists....Pitching into the discussion were Phil Campbell, Martin Rees, Paul Rabinow and Steve Schneider....My excitement and confusion has only been compounded by the discovery of free ice cream. If you asked a seven-year-old to design a conference, this is what they would come up with.

SciFoo Camp - 2nd day
from backreaction.blogspot.com
collected 289 days ago by gracebaynes
"Here, the sessions are all one hour, and there's either one or a few people who give a brief talk (with or without slides) followed by an extended discussion. It works very well - I haven't witnesses a single instant of somebody trying to show off with some unrelated explanation nobody was interested in. A lot of people add experiences from other fields. There is a substantial amount of science meta-talk here, i.e. questions of how science works, or how its relation is to the public. Some people have brought demos like science toys and there's some interesting looking sports cars in the yard, plus a car with wings, no seriously (see terrafugia.com). Being here is as exciting as inspiring."
