ScienceOnline comprises a community of people interested in discovering, discussing, and extending how science is done and shared online. This organization has an annual conference, which will be held this year on January 30-February 2. For those in town who aren’t able to make the conference, but are interested in the topic, ScienceOnlineSeattle will be hosting watch parties for two of the conference’s sessions. We’ll be talking about the deficit model in science communication, and how altmetrics can help you track your scientific impact online. Check out the details and sign up here!

A University of Washington project helps you decide how to vote this season, complete with fact-checking by Seattle librarians. The Living Voters’ Guide, developed by computer science and engineering post-doc Travis Kriplean as part of his PhD dissertation, allows voters to work together to draft brief arguments for or against issues and refine their positions.
