Welcome to #SciFund Voices a new monthly video chat featuring #SciFunders of all walks of life, sharing their experiences for the benefit of all. Each conversation will be held live via Google+ Hangouts On-Air (and simulcast on Youtube) so you can watch live or stream later.

But wait, there’s more. We’ll also be chatting via Twitter during the live stream, using the #Scifund hashtag, so you can share your thoughts about the topic du mois. You’ll even be able to ask questions via Twitter or the Hangout, that we can ask the panelists on air, so that everyone can be part of the conversation.

Our next conversation, “Using social media without blowing up your scientific career,” will be coming up in a few weeks so stay tuned for more details. In the meantime, check out our first conversation, titled “The Truth About Crowdfunding” below.
