[OKFN-EN] Next Ox Open Sci - Crowdcrafting with Feynman's Flowers: Citizen Science Goes Nano

Wed Sep 18 10:40:12 UTC 2013

Hi,

This is a really great new! Cyrus contacted me a few days ago about it, so
really happy to know that it will happen! Jenny, thanks a lot for inviting
him, he will give an amazing talk by all means.

All the best,

Daniel

PS: If you have any questions about PyBossa/CrowdCrafting just ask me :-)
