I’m pleased to say that I’ll be giving a public talk about open science in San Francisco, next Wednesday, June 29, at 6pm. The talk is being hosted by the Public Library of Science<\/a>, and there will be wine, beer and cheese after the event.<\/p>\n

The talk is entitled “Why the net doesn’t work for science – and how to fix it” [*]. Here’s my abstract for the talk:<\/p>\n

\nThe net is transforming many aspects of our society, from finance to friendship. And yet scientists, who helped create the net, are extremely conservative in how they use it. Although the net has great potential to transform science, most scientists remain stuck in a centuries-old system for the construction of knowledge. I will describe some leading-edge projects that show how online tools can radically change and improve science (using projects in Mathematics and Citizen Science as examples), and will then go on to discuss why these tools haven\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t spread to all corners of science, and how we can change that.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The talk will be thematically similar to my recent talk about open science for TEDxWaterloo<\/a>, but will go much deeper into the challenge and promise of open science.<\/p>\n

For more details on the talk, including the address and a map, please see the PLoS blog<\/a>. Please RSVP to rshah@plos.org if you plan to attend.<\/p>\n

Hope to see you there!<\/p>\n

[*] The title is a riff on the wonderful phrase “making the web work for science”, which I believe originated with James Boyle<\/a>. For a recent talk on the subject by Boyle, see here<\/a> (see also Creative Commons’<\/a> work on science).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
