Science Commons goes virtual*_

John Wilbanks will be giving a talk in the virtual world Second Life 
this Monday (4/16). Taking on avatar-form for his first official SL 
speaking engagement, Wilbanks will be giving an introduction to Science 
Commons. The talk - “Scientific Research and the Creative Commons 
Methodology” - will shed light on the application of CC copyright 
licenses in a research context for science. The talk will also examine 
the application of CC methods such as standard human-readable contracts 
and technology implementations of contracts to non-digital materials 
(such as DNA, stem cells, research animals).

An avatar is required to attend this lecture, which can be acquired for 
free on Second Life's Web site.

The event will take place at the Science Center on Info Island II at 1 
p.m. EST/ 10 a.m. SL time.
