To mark the occasion, on January 22nd at 1 – 2 SLT (PST), I will be doing a brief talk in Second Life on some of the major themes that were illuminated during the research process. And most of all, I would like to meet those of you I don’t know, answer your questions and start a long term dialogue about the immense opportunities in the therapeutic applications of virtual worlds.

The event will be kicked off by John Lester (Pathfinder Linden), who has been working tirelessly with Linden Labs to promote the healthcare applications of Second Life. This event will be hosted by Popcha! at their headquarters. (http://slurl.com/secondlife/Popcha/180/238/32)
