Science 2.0 online tools? Join the conversation in Toronto on Sunday
Jen Dodd sent me an email about a pub night and panel taking place in Toronto on Sunday night:
Science 2.0: the future of online tools for scientists
A pub night and panel with Timo Hannay, Cameron Neylon, and Michael Nielsen, hosted by Nature Network Toronto
What does the future hold for the way we do science? Are online repositories such as GenBank and the physics preprint ArXiv, or social tools such as Nature Network, about to change science profoundly? To find out, join Nature Network Toronto for an interactive panel discussion over drinks at the pub.
Date: Sunday September 7 at 7:30pm
Place: Fionn MacCool’s
I know Michael Nielson is working on a book that is looking at the future of science and is sure to have some interesting insights to share. I think he has well defined a serious problem in academia as a whole with how information is published and how that has to change but that is whole other blog post. Not familiar with the other panelists but I am sure they will contribute to a really interesting conversation.
If you have an interest in where Science is (or should be) going, stop by the pub!
