Science Hack Day is a 48-hour-all-night event that brings together designers, developers, scientists and other geeks in the same physical space for a brief but intense period of collaboration, hacking, and building 'cool stuff'. They're already beginning to pop up across the world in the coming months, from Dublin to Cape Town and a dozen cities in between.
