#scio12 business cards from day 1

I’ve met some cool people and exchanged information with some. As kind of a thank you for sharing with me and let’s do something together, I’m going to share the names of the people who’ve provided me with contact info, tell a little of what they do and send them some hits! What a great world it is…

  • Perrin Ireland (@experrinment) – www.alphachimp.com Perrin is the scio12 science scribe-r and taught a bunch of us the ways of sketch noting, which is basically visually representing ideas in a sort of storyboard way. It’s the most beautiful brain dump I’ve ever seen. I’ll have a few of these by the end of the conference and I’ll be sharing those with you all.
  • Brian Glanz (@brianglanz) – opensciencefederation.com Brian was in my session about ONS and approached me afterward to talk about the viability of ONS for all scientists. I think there are some good things in our future…
  • Amy Teitel (@astVintageSpace) – vintagespace.wordpress.com I met Amy this morning and we talked at length in the afternoon. She’s a promising blogger/writer that has tons of fascinating stories about the history of space flight. I promised her awesome business cards. Follow her on twitter and talk with her to show her that Twitter is useful after all.
  • Walter Jessen (@wjjessen) – walterjessen.com I also met Walter this morning. He promised to introduce me to someone and I really want to know who this person is. The mystery is killing me. We talked a lot about ONS and open science and how cool it really is.
  • I also met a woman named Deb at the Museum of Natural Sciences. I didn’t get her last name, but her and her colleagues are doing some pretty awesome outreach experiments with the local community. I told her about ONS and she seemed really excited to setup something in this regard for her program. We’ll be talking I’m sure…

Tomorrow I expect to meet a ton more people and get a ton more cards. At which point I will share more links with you all. Until then…
