March 15th - 16th: SciBarCamp
Iseehear will be participating in SciBarCamp, “a gathering of scientists, artists, and technologists for a weekend of talks and discussions”.
SciBarCamp will take place at Hart House at the University of Toronto on the weekend of March 15-16.
“The goal is to create connections between science, entrepreneurs and local businesses, and arts and culture. The themes are:
* The edge of science (eg, synthetic biology, quantum gravity, cognitive science)
* The edge of technology (eg, mobile web, ambient computing, nanotechnology, web 2.0)
* Science 2.0 (open access, changing models of publication and collaboration, scientific software)
* Scientific literacy and public engagement (eg, one laptop per child project, policy and science, technology as legislation, enfranchising the poor, the young, the old)
* The interactions of science, art and culture: Scientists and artists as partners in the continuing evolution of the culture.”

( 3 / 239 )We are taking a moment to salute you on International Women's Day. Stay focused remain positive and have Good Thoughts.
International Women's Day (originating website URL is below)
International Women's Day (8 March) is an occasion marked by women's groups around the world. This date is also commemorated at the United Nations and is designated in many countries as a national holiday. When women on all continents, often divided by national boundaries and by ethnic, linguistic, cultural, economic and political differences, come together to celebrate their Day, they can look back to a tradition that represents at least nine decades of struggle for equality, justice, peace and development.
International Women's Day is the story of ordinary women as makers of history; it is rooted in the centuries-old struggle of women to participate in society on an equal footing with men. In ancient Greece, Lysistrata initiated a sexual strike against men in order to end war; during the French Revolution, Parisian women calling for "liberty, equality, fraternity" marched on Versailles to demand women's suffrage.
The idea of an International Women's Day first arose at the turn of the century, which in the industrialized world was a period of expansion and turbulence, booming population growth and radical ideologies. For a brief chronology of the most important events, visit the URL pasted below:
