Best Virtual World Ever: Innovation in Organizing MeetingsEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
I’ve been organizing scientific events and medical conferences in the virtual realm of Second Life for years. Though it has some serious limitations. If you don’t have IT experience, it will be quite hard to download and install it. Costs a lot if you want to upload content. Creating slideshows is a complicated and long process. In the last couple of months, I’ve been a consultant for a Hungarian team that developed Visuland which should be a perfect alternative for Second Life: Takes about 20-30 seconds to enter: You come up with the idea to organize an event and send the specific links to the potenti...

Dad Delivers Baby With Help From GoogleEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
It was the strangest headline this week. Let’s see a case study focusing on how to promote a device carefully and how to deliver false message about the use of online health information. When Leroy Smith’s pregnant wife started going into labor, the desperate dad didn’t turn to the doctors, but to Google. Unsure of what do when his wife, Emma Smith, began having contractions at their home, and fearing that the midwife wouldn’t arrive in time, the dad-to-be grabbed his Blackberry and Googled “how to deliver a baby.” Leroy, a security guard, followed the step-by-step instructions he found ...

I gave an interview to one of the biggest Hungarian educational web portals, Felvi.hu about Webicina.com and Health 2.0.

Medicine and Web 2.0 University Course: End of 3rd SemesterEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
I’m really proud that I can organize and run the world’s first university credit course focusing on Web 2.0 and medicine at a medical school. This was the third, and so far most successful, semester with 115 students who filled a survey before and after the course. I hope I can publish the results in a peer-reviewed paper soon with the help of real experts in this field. In the final lecture, I used Prezi.com again and talked about the future of medicine as well as the results of the surveys. I’ve already got some invitations to do at least a part of the course at other international universities. What is...

Dance Your Research Project: Videos of FinalistsEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Do you remember the Dance Your PhD contest? The Science Dance Match-Up challenge is not a new one but still features really interesting videos. This experiment began back in October 2008 with a challenge to scientists to interpret their Ph.D. theses in dance form, capture the dances on video, and upload them onto YouTube. Six weeks later, a panel of expert judges chose four winners, hailing from Australia, Germany, Canada, and the United States. (All of them have artistic backgrounds.) The scientists then passed the baton to the artists. Each scientist was paired with a choreographer. Between November and January, the chor...
