I have been having a play with Storify, which is a platform to pull in material from public sources to create a story. And this is what I came up with: a comment piece on Slutwalks. I don’t think that using Storify actually saved me time in the end to write my post, as it’s in Beta at the moment and I found it a bit clunky to move the pieces around. But, I can see that if you were liveblogging an event it would be a brilliant way of pulling in tweets, video clips and images into a chronological stream. Or, I also think it would work as a kind of notepad to plonk articles on different subjects that interest you for future reference. I also recorded a report on Slutwalk London for the Pod Delusion podcast (about 11.25 mins in). UPDATE (21:10pm BST 17/6/2011): Storify tweet to tell me:  ”You can select individual elements and use the arrow keys to move them around - we are adding a help menu for shortcuts”

Threat to development from a lack of engineers

400 pages of engineering goodness, and 120 contributions from around the world, digested into less than 500 words by yours truly for SciDev.net. *wipes sweat from brow*

This is a video from my final MA project - equivalent to a thesis - Women’s Mag Science. It was about media coverage of science aimed at women.

In the video, academic and agony aunt Petra Boynton and me chat about stuff that women’s magazines get wrong when writing about sex.
