Open Laboratory 2010 – nominations open

I have modestly nominated our opening post for inclusion in this years Open Laboratory, best of science blogging collection. You can find out more about the book and who has already been nominated at Blog around the Clock. Here’s our self nomination:

This post welcomes our readers to our brand new site, YourBrainonDrugs.net. Which is both a blog and a laboratory. We reserarch and blog about the science and sociology of everyday drug and alcohol use. We are describing our project as we go along. The project itself, which aims to build an Android smartphone application started at the same time as the blog. The aim is to test drug and alcohol users on a range of cognitive and emotional tests built into games, while the players are in different states of intoxication. Then use state of the art data visualisation techniques to provide online, realtime feedback, individually and globally.
So this is the opening post for our open laboratory. As the post states we also believe in open data, open source and open minds.

I imagine that you could nominate us too if you so chose…
