What is a Virtual Conference?
Our virtual conference took place on the Elucian Islands, which is the home of Nature Publishing Group, in the virtual world of Second Life. This allowed researchers worldwide to come together to present and discuss their research without leaving the lab.
It was standing-room only in Second Life during Sir Brian's talk.
