Tenth International Conference on Near-Field Optics, Nanophotonics and Related Techniques (NFO 10)
(2009)Analytical and Bioanalytical ChemistryThe First International Conference on Near-Field Optics (NFO) took place in Arc-et-Senans (France) in 1992, eight years after the first scanning near-field optical microscopy (SNOM) experiments with visible light by Dieter Pohl et al. at IBM Zurich Research Laboratory in Rüschlikon (Switzerland). Since then this field has been growing and has extended into different new topics, for example apertureless probes, plasmonics, metamaterials, ...Other Journal Item -
Microblogging the ISMB: A New Approach to Conference Reporting
(2009)PLoS Computational BiologyMicroblogging platforms and other tools for videos, podcasts, and virtual environments provide an untapped potential for science conferences. Our experiment using FriendFeed to cover ISMB 2008 was educational and surprisingly successful. We found that it enhanced our note-taking skills, allowed us to compile notes from parallel sessions, attracted wider interest from non-attendees, and, in addition to the “live” aspect, generated a permanent ...Other Journal Item -
