From the link, the webcast is tomorrow, June 24. You’re living in the future, as usual…
I think I’m going to leave class early to live blog the event at http://temetics.org Although we still don’t really have a large readership yet, I think it’d be worth the time to demonstrate the capability and, hopefully, usefulness of creating such a medium for undergraduate voices.

Just to follow up: I did live-blog the event. You can find it on the Teme Foundation’s homepage. The main point: We need to create open dialogue in synthetic bioethics to navigate dually useful and dangerous precautionary and proactionary perspectives.

It’s my first experience with live-blogging. I’m not a huge fan of the medium, actually (I fail to see what makes it soooo different from non-live-blogging, twittering, gchatting, and any other methods through which we publish text data). My primary goal was to demonstrate the technology… if we can get undergrads to live-blog conferences, that’d be pretty swell.
I’ll append the video and/or mp3 of the presentation once they are available.
