The Next Generation Science Conference #scio12

Last week scientists, teachers, librarians, students, journalists, bloggers, and others interested in how the online world is changing the way science is communicated, gathered at the Research Triangle area of North Carolina for the annual Science Online conference.

The agenda was split thoughtfully into workshops, discussion sessions, fun events and museum tours. Below is a Storify archiving the tweets from The Next Generation Science Conference session moderated by Scicurious and nature.com’s Lou Woodley.

The discussion looked at how adding online elements can complement a conference and how scientific societies can use this to reach out to wider audiences.  A range of topics was discussed, such as how to encourage live blogging and tweeting, how societies might go about dealing with science bloggers and how to archive online coverage.

Do let us know if we have left out any tweets or if you have blogged about this session. You can check out Scicurious‘s coverage here.
