Science blogging conference set for 30 August

The official forum for Science Blogging 2008, to be held at the Royal Institution, London, on 30 August 2008, has been set up at Nature Network.
The science blogging community is growing rapidly and reaching larger audiences. At Science Blogging 2008, science bloggers from around the world will have the opportunity to meet and discuss the pressing issues in science, science communication, publishing and education. What can science bloggers do to maximise their impact? Can blogging contribute to scientific research and careers? How can blogs be used to help educate the public about science? Readers and writers of science blogs, those who follow trends in online scientific communication and anyone else interested in learning more about science blogging will benefit from the discussions. You do not have to have a blog in order to attend.
To register, email network@nature.com (with subject line ‘Science blogging conference’) and let us know your job title, affiliation and whether you’re a blogger. Join this group, and help set the agenda in the discussion forum.
