Fwd: [webscience-announce] Health @ ACM Web Science Conference 2012

Part of the way forward in health is empowerment of the individual through the Web.

We're having our 2nd workshop on Health Web Science next month in conjunction with the ACM Web Science conference.
I can highly recommend both (but I' biased)

cheers,
Joanne
