Hangout Moderator
We also wanted to take this opportunity to let you know that Olga Garcia (i.e., our science cheerleader) will serve as moderator on many of the HOA’s coming out of the Science on Google+: A Public Database page. Thanks, Olga Garcia! If you haven’t had a chance to meet Olga, circle her and introduce yourself. She would love to hear from you, especially if you have ideas that will make G+ the go to place for SCIENCE!
Happy #sciencesunday to everyone!

Daniel Simons – would you be interested in participating in a hangout on replications, publication bias, and meta-analysis?

An interesting approach for these is to set up a separate profile, then people can circle that profile and they get invitations to then and can auto add them to their Google Calendar. People who don’t want the invites don’t circle the other profile and continue to get the normal feed, with a notice of the HOA but no “invite”.
This is how Fraser Cain is handling it for his weekly astronomy HOAs.

These panels are great idea.
Topic idea: the decay of Moore’s law and what materials science can do to reach the thermodynamic limit of transistors per area.

Chris Robinson — Yes, I would be interested. The key will be timing.
