In 2011 I will be going on an extended speaking and outreach tour to promote open science, in North America and Europe. If you’re interested in having me speak at an event, please get in touch.
Testimonials
“Michael Nielsen is that rarity among speakers – a visionary who can deliver a thought-provoking presentation on a complex topic, challenge your assumptions on something you thought you already understood, and leave you feeling both inspired and entertained. Listening to Michael is like having the chance to talk with the smartest person in the room… who turns out to be one of the nicest and most engaging people you’ve ever met.” – Heather Joseph, Executive Director of the Scholarly Publishing and Academic Resources Coalition (SPARC)
“Michael is one of the few speakers I’ve encountered who can have a profound impact on the way their audience thinks. More than a year after he delivered the keynote talk at dotAstronomy, none of us who heard him go very long without thinking back to his talk. As well as being inspirational, it was clear, informative – and a lot of fun.” – Chris Lintott, co-founder of Galaxy Zoo and the Citizen Science Alliance
“Being blown away by Michael Nielsen on open science” – Joe Murphy, Director of Information Resources at Kenyon College, commenting on Twitter, during a speech
“Michael Nielsen was among the first speakers I approached when putting together our TEDxWaterloo program this year. His passionate embrace of open science as the future of scientific research, and his clear delivery of this message strongly resonated with our broad audience. It was a pleasure working with Michael. He took time to carefully craft his talk and an inspiring call to action for maximum impact at our event.” – Matt Gorbet, Co-host and Curator, TEDxWaterloo 2011
