Well, a small group got together and shared some things about their work. Simon Porter showed us an early version of his Twitter Bootstrap UI for VIVO – very impressive – lean, modern look, responsive interface, improved access to information. Looking forward to seeing more about this.

Plenary Session
Cameron Neylon
Melissa Haendel working on phenotypes. Introduce http://openvivo.org from the podium.
Steven Pinker, Harvard – why we communicate badly
Caesar Hidalgo, MIT – data visualization
Christie Nicholson, Journalist – Communicating Science, Distilling your message. She used a baseball situation as a test case – baseball is complex to the non-initiated. How to describe what is happening. Paul Groth started, followed by Kristi Holmes. I gave it a try, using a bit of radio commentator flair, and focusing on the emotion (rivalry, tension, opportunity) in the situation. I finished with a flourish "and this game is over!" People responded enthusiastically. The moment was captured in the cartoon graphic produced for the conference. I spoke with the artists – who knew little about baseball, but were enthusiastic about my short adlib.
