Medicine and Web 2.0 @ SciFoo lives on (Second Life)
I’d missed the first installment last week due to some grid problem that Second Life was having. So this week was my first opportunity to be present among some notable others.
Berci from ScienceRoll gave a great talk/chat about the state of what he calls Medicine 2.0. Here you can see him in action:
After Berci we had the chance to learn about two websites that are related to this Medicine 2.0 revolution, namely BioWizard and TiroMed. Both presented by their authors which were very open to questions and ideas to improve their sites.
To end the mini virtual conference we looked at a poster regarding drug discovery and the uses open science tools can have on that field of study. Good stuff once again.
Overall it was a great experience and I’ll be checking into the next editions whenever possible and hopefully even contributing further down the road.
