Nature Network London, the second city hub on the Nature Network, launched a couple of days ago. Here’s a link to its “getting started” page. Nature Network works on two levels. On the global pages, you can interact with scientists all over the world, browse and join groups and forums, and read about international science in the blogs. Within Nature Network, we also have a number of local hubs – beginning with Boston and London – where you can meet local scientists, find events listings, seek jobs and read lively articles related to science in those places. You can also filter the groups/forums and blogs by locality.

Your Network is your collection of friends, contacts or just people you find interesting on Nature Network. Think of your network as the people you want to read and talk to. You can add anyone to your network, and then Your Network Snapshot will track their activity on the site. Likewise, anyone who lists you in their network can easily keep up-to-date with your contributions. Members of your network can be named as ‘contacts’ or ’friends (attributions only you will be able to see), allowing you to filter communications to the right people within your network.

Enjoy Nature Network, the social scene for scientists.
