I finally had time tonight to get new business cards that cover all the different things I do: computational biologist, knowledge curator, new media journalist and developer.

I spent some time this weekend reading through the upcoming ScienceOnline2012 program and selecting sessions that I’m interested in attending.

Earlier this week, I had the pleasure of attending a talk on Open Science presented by John Wilbanks, Executive Director of Science Commons.
