Fall 2007

Meets: Thursdays, 2-3 pm in 3rd floor PharmBio Fishbowl

Why Are We Doing This?" To Communicate with each other about electronic science communication; to get into the habit of posting frequently; because Margaret says we have to.


Anybody Got a Blogging Idea?

It is my observation that the most successful blogs seem to range very widely in a very flat universe --- they are tightly themed, but the blogger looks at the subject from many angles. So we should be striving for blog themes that will appeal to a well-defined audience.

  • 13 Sept 2007 - As mentioned in class, here's the link to the webpage full of science songs. I highly recommend "Eohippus" (I think the passing of all evolutionary time should be just sungs as lalalalalalala) and for fans of They Might Be Giants, "Why Does The Sun Shine". ~~Amy
