There were lots of very interesting talks, and I hope to give a flavour of some of the issues that were mentioned over the course of the meeting. The list of participants and the programme outline are on the Durham website, however I do not expect the slides of the talks to be uploaded except perhaps by individual speakers. https://www.ianhuston.net/2010/03/twitter-weekly-updates-for-2010-03-22/ Sun, 21 Mar 2010 23:57:00 +0100 https://www.ianhuston.net/2010/03/twitter-weekly-updates-for-2010-03-22/ Pic of me doing some actual astronomy yesterday!

I will be attending and giving a talk in the inflation session on Thursday afternoon. After last week’s Science Online London 2009 conference which I attended, I have been thinking about how to get fellow cosmologists to start interacting online. I am not sure whether anyone else will use it but I have started using the hashtag #cosmo09 on twitter and have created a FriendFeed room for the conference.
