OK, folk on the Twitters – if you’re not following @DATACURATORHULK, I take no responsibility for what may happen to you. And if you’re not curating your data properly, or making sure that it is open?…hide.
Best. New. Twitter Account. Ever.
So, you want to hear my vision for what #SciFund tells us about the future of science funding & engagement, and back it up with data? *Bam!* Here you go.
This is my talk about the results from Round 1 of #SciFund from an NCEAS Ecolunch. The slides are below the video. Enjoy!
After the fantastic NCEAS working group on the future of scholarly publishing in EEB (big success – stay tuned for more news on that front!), I participated in a really interesting online discussion about Post-Publication peer review with Carl Boettiger, Jamie Ashlander, and Scott Chamberlain. The conversation was great, and I think brought up a lot of interesting points – both that echoed some discussions in our group and went far beyond them.
There’s a lot of grist for the mill here – what is the roll of post-publication peer review, do we have an efficient system to conduct it, can we do better, and if so, how (and how can we do it simply instead of having to build some whole new platform)?
Take a gander, and I’d love to hear more of your thoughts about how we can better accelerate the pace of the scientific discussion in an efficient way.
