As one who loves science, the pure and the practical, I can’t help but mention the YearlyKos Convention 2007 Science Panel this afternoon, starting at 2:30 local time in room 403a & b. But there are some other, terrific science events going on at YKC. Here's a few, starting with a discussion touching on one of the greatest success stories in the blogosphere at 2:30 PM in room 10-d:

From Blogosphere to Legisphere: This workshop will begin with a discussion of Energize America's voyage from blog discussion to legislative action. Others will discuss their challenges and successes in traveling this route. An open discussion will explore the potential for using the blogosphere to influence policy development.

Bird Flu: The Hope, The Hype and the Science -- With Dr. Greg Dworkin (DemFromCT), Laura Segal, & Dave Ozonoff. Saturday, 9:15 AM, room 101a & b
