Tom and I are off to ScienceOnline 09 and looking forward to it for many reasons-- not just because the next few days are supposed to the coldest in Massachusetts for years (North Carolina has to be warmer right?).

There are lots of cool things (hmm let's call them "hot things") scheduled including the Women's Networking Event (with a keynote address by Rebecca Skloot) and sessions on everything from "Open Access publishing: present and future" to "Gender in science — online and offline" moderated by FairerScience friends Suzanne Franks, Abel and Alice Pawley.

I'll be livebloging, hanging out and learning much. Hope I see you there:
