Made using Wordle.Net
When I was enduring a painfully extended journey home from Science Online 2012 I kept thinking about the essence of the meeting.
And for reasons I am not entirely clear on, the essence kept coming up as single words. So I tried to write them down but it was a bit too vague ... so then I thought - what about giving those words some friends ...
So I decided to try to come up with 100 words to complete the phrase "Scientists have ..." I made a list and then gave each word a "weight" and used Wordle.Net to make a word cloud with them.
This word cloud, in the context of "Scientists have ..." captures a lot of meeting for me.
Would be great to see other people come up with their 100 words for this ...
My full list with scores is below:

I like that tattoos gets equal weighting with science. And that the microbiologist has weighted lemurs 3x as heavily as microbes. ;-)
ReplyDeleteGreat to see you again, Jon.
Hey - I did not say I was weighting by what I wished the #s were ---- given that there was a lemur tour AND the keynote speaker talked about lemurs ... what was I to do
ReplyDeleteOther words that came to mind?
