For readers interested in blogging, sciencey or otherwise, a trio of events in January and February may be of interest. I’m hoping to make all three, so let me know if you plan to attend any of them.

23 Jan: Log in, Blog to, Log out

Turnmills, Clerkenwell Road, 6-9pm (includes networking drinks)

Bq. A blog can be an online diary, a collection of links or a soapbox for a point of view you have. Social networking sites can contain comments and opinions and both can be a successful web tool in the age of social and business networking. But when does an opinion turn into defamation? And what rights do you need to clear to use on a blogging/networking site?

29 Jan: London bloggers meetup

The Camel and Artichoke, Waterloo, from 7pm

A general meet-up for bloggers, held monthly.

28 Feb: Blogging Science

The Apple Store, Regent Street, 7-8.30pm

The Guardian’s Ben Goldacre, Nature Network blogger Jenny Rohn, and Ed Yong, author of Not Exactly Rocket Science talk about their experiences. Co-organised by the Royal Institution and Nature Network London.
