There’s always an interesting science event taking place, or so it seems, and as more and more events are now being live-streamed or live-tweeted, you can often also follow events in places where you don’t live.

To help with diary planning, we’ve created Google Calendars for some of the major science cities; London and Cambridge in the UK and NYC, Boston and San Francisco in the US.

Below you can find links to all of the Google Calendars we have put together:

London Science Events

Cambridge Science Events

DC Science Events

NYC Sci Comm events

Boston Science Events

San Francisco Science Events

We try to feature all the scientific events we know of in these areas including lectures, meet-ups (including #scitweetups), exhibition openings, quizzes and the events that we’re involved with organising such as the monthly Science Online NYC (#sonyc) discussion series. Please do let us know if you can see any important omissions.

We’re also happy to add anyone as a calendar admin so that you can update it with your own science events, just get in touch.

These calendars are all works in progress – more events will be added regularly and all feedback is very welcome.

For those who are interested in science communication and publishing, we have compiled a public calender of the latest events in New York and the surrounding areas.

This calender will be regularly updated so that the coming month contains the events that we’re aware of. Do let us know if you would like to add one to the calender, or if we are missing any events off, feel free to leave a comment.

Folks there’s still time for NYC’s biggest annual machine learning event:

The 5th annual NYAS Machine Learning Symposium is tomorrow!

This year there will also be an afterparty with NYC startups presenting machine learning problems “in the wild".

Monica Kerr of NYAS’s Science Alliance sent along this blurb:

Machine Learning Careers in NYC Startups

Student, postdocs, and professionals: Thinking about machine learning careers? Intrigued by New York City’s emerging startup ecosystem?

After the close of the 5th Annual Machine Learning Symposium there will be a series of short talks on machine learning problems encountered in the NYC startup community. Local startups foursquare.com, drop.io, etsy.com, and bit.ly will discuss examples of real-world, data-intensive challenges that they currently face, as well as job opportunities at NYC startups. There will be food, beverages, and an opportunity to discuss technical or career matters with researchers in startups informally.

This event is co-organized by Science Alliance and hackNY.org with the support of friends including IA Ventures and AOL Ventures.

In order to attend this special “Machine Learning Careers in NYC Startups”

event you must be registered for the 5th Annual Machine Learning Symposium (www.nyas.org/ml2010) AND RSVP by emailing Melanie Koundourou at mkoundourou@nyas.org.
