Nature Publishing Group are organising a workshop on science blogging, this Saturday 30th August 2008 at the Royal Institution of Great Britain in London. Why would you care? Because there are:

1. Lots of interesting people...
2. ...talking about a range of interesting subjects ...
3. .. in a distinguished venue that has recently been refurbished. It is also home to the fantastic Christmas lectures and much more besides.

To cap it all, I think it will be great fun too. So if you're going, see you there. If you're not, it is never too late to publish your fantasy science funding entry. Much of the conference will be televised and blogged, making it available online too.

There is a famous place in London town, inside Hyde Park, known as Speakers' Corner. It is a space where free speech and self-expression prevail. At Speakers' Corner, anyone can say anything they like about anything they want to anyone who cares to listen. There are some obvious parallels between blogging and Speakers' Corner as well as one rather striking difference.
