It is nice that you got some Second Life screenshots in there. There is so much potential for open chemistry in SL, including great networking opportunities for scientists, students, teachers, science enthusiasts, etc. The SciFoo Lives On sessions and the Nature talks, both on Nature Island (Second Nature) are more formal events to meet people. But just flying around anytime it is remarkable how easy it is to make scientific contacts.

Note that the molecule shown there is the result of a collaboration between Andrew Lang and myself.

Thanks J-C. Unfortunately in the finished article the editors required the removal of all acknowledgments of other people.
