For you artists and people who like to mix their science and creativity jones and are looking for some inspiration, there are 11 (soon to be 12) Dorkbot presentations up on DorkBot’s Vimeo page. They range from electronic projects at elementary schools, personal indoor farms for nyc apartments, dolls mutated into sexy robots, and other incredibly interesting visions from artists all around. They were captured by me and edited by my good friend Joe Frey. We are calling this little thing of ours Content Content and will continue to bring you an archive of Dorkbot -NYC’s exciting presentations.

Dorkbot meets every the first Wednesday of every month at 7p at Location 1 in soho.   (continue reading…)

Sometimes the back and forth between tweeting and blogging makes abuses like these happen. I have not made a note about Imagine Science Festival’s screening benefit tomorrow at Galapagos! If anyone is planning on going, drop me an email: greg@sciencelifeny.com. From a recent email: (continue reading…)

Just like to give an update to everyone about what you can read on Science Life NY lately. As of today, I have five contributors writing about how they interact with science in their daily lives. More on them later. I have been torn on how to present the many science and political news i come across through the many digital (and magazine) media outlets i consume.

Just got a tweet of the new beta website of New York Academy of Sciences and Science and the City. It looks great. They made an attempt to show two of the better aspects of NYAS: its ever-increasing library of worthwhile content, and its event listings. The site is such an improvement, i felt compelled to complete their survey.

I am currently watching a live feed of the open video conference, and i am super jealous.  As you may know, i am a supporter of the open movement, and this is a great moment to see how far the tech has come. Currently, i am capturing and netcasting forums and events at the NYU medical center, and i hope they adopt this far reaching vision of how video can be done online. Hat tip to stacey at slightlyoverexposed.com for letting me know about this! Science needs to see how that improving the speed of research lies in open access to information! I am going to embed the rest of the afternoon after the break. enjoy! (continue reading…)
