Nothing fancy here, just science geeks getting their geek on at Science Online 2011. Follow the Twitter hashtag #scio11 for lots of fun.
(I'd also recommend #DSN and #DSNSUITE for those not too faint of heart.)
I did my best to eliminate unflattering and incriminating photos. Please don't ID anyone but yourself in these photos to protect the anonymity of the guilty.
