I haven't had time to write up SciFoo / do it justice yet - and am unlikely to before I go jetting off to Seattle for the Trek America (and low connectivity) part of my trip.
So here are some other people's impressions of SciFoo. Almost without exception, they've gone to different sessions from me!

This afternoon's trip to the Exploratorium was a little disappointing - because 3 hours was definitely not enough to do it justice! I thoroughly worked my way through the mechanics and thermal parts - then realised this had taken two hours, and the remaining 3/4 of the exhibits remained unexplored. I had to do a quick dash round the rest of it. In summary, the Exploratorium is fantastic, and must have lots of great brains pooling together to come up with the hands-on stuff, but you really need a day to do it 'properly'!
