As well as big famous superstars at Science Foo Camp (scifoo), there is a chance to meet and "geek out" with younger engineers and scientists like Vince Smith, Aaron Schwartz and Vaughan Bell.

On day three of Science Foo Camp (scifoo) biologist Lincoln Stein (picture right) gave a presenation on what he calls "genome voyeurism", using Jim Watsons genome as an example. This session demonsrated the current and future possibilities of individuals having their own DNA sequenced, what has been called "personal genomics".

Some of the most interesting conversations you have at Science Foo Camp (scifoo) are in the corridors, foo bars and even the bus that shuttles between the Googleplex and the hotel...

My boss, Douglas Kell, who has kindly allowed and paid for me to attend Science Foo Camp (scifoo), says to me "tell me what you get up to". So here goes. Scifoo day 1, A chance to meet and around 250 engineers, scientists, philosophers and other odd people from all over the world.
