ScienceOnline2010: Sessions to Attend

I’m looking over the ScienceOnline2010 conference schedule tonight and deciding which sessions to attend. To make it easier to read, I copied the wiki and made a PDF (sometimes paper is best). In case anyone is interested in downloading a copy for themselves, you can get it here: ScienceOnline2010 program PDF

I’m hoping to blog throughout the conference next weekend here on NGS. I’ll post links to other resources as I find out about them. Below I’ve listed the sessions I’d like to attend and will thus be writing about — unfortunately, there’s several time slots that have more than one session! I know I can always go back and watch the video later, but I’d really like to be involved in the discussion.

Decisions, decisions …

Thanks Walt!

I too, have been reading through the wiki site trying to decide on which talks to attend. It makes me wish I could clone myself.

There all sound so interesting and it’s so hard to decide. The pdf will be very helpful.
