Medicine 2.0

I must say I'm amazed at the number and quality of weekly presentations in the SciFoo Lives On sessions in Second Life.  This week Jean-Claude and Bertalan (Berci) Meskó moderated "Medicine and Web 2.0".  I won't post the full transcript, but I did learn of some interesting links.

[SL-Med20]

One thing is I don't know if all the in-world presentations are also available externally as PowerPoint/SlideShare/PDF/whatever.

* List of medical blogs in English

* HONcode standard for trustworthy health and medical web sites

* Healthcare Blogger Code of Ethics

Above two are perhaps interesting additions to the Peer Review Logo discussion.

* Ann Myers Medical Center - Sprott Shaw College - Hospital Island

* Berci's Medicine 2.0 presentation and extensive link list

* BioWizard medical article ranking tool (articles from PubMed)

* TiroMed social network for physicians and med students ("your portal to the medisphere")

I have added these all to Connotea with tag "medicine 2.0"

UPDATE: Jean-Claude has posted the transcript and other notes.  ENDUPDATE

UPDATE 2007-08-28: Berci has also posted his experience in SciFoo lives on in Second Life: Web 2.0 and Medicine.  ENDUPDATE

Next week will be Tuesday Sept 4th (since Monday is a holiday) with topic "definitions of open science".
