Open Science: The Promise and the Challenge (by Michael Nielsen)

6:00 PM - 10:00 PM

🇬🇧 · London Hackspace

Talk starts around 19:30

Abstract: The 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't spread to all corners of science, and how we can change that.

Bio: Michael Nielsen is an author and an advocate of open science. His book about open science, Reinventing Discovery, will be published by Princeton University Press in October, 2011. Prior to his book, Michael was an internationally known scientist who helped pioneer the field of quantum computation. He co-authored the standard text in the field, and wrote more than 50 scientific papers, including invited contributions to Nature and Scientific American. His work on quantum teleportation was recognized in Science Magazine's list of the Top Ten Breakthroughs of 1998. Michael was educated at the University of Queensland, and as a Fulbright Scholar at the University of New Mexico. He worked at Los Alamos National Laboratory, as the Richard Chace Tolman Prize Fellow at Caltech, was Foundation Professor of Quantum Information Science and a Federation Fellow at the University of Queensland, and a Senior Faculty Member at the Perimeter Institute for Theoretical Physics. In 2008, he gave up his tenured position to work fulltime on open science.

Show and Tell

8:00 PM

🇬🇧 · London Hackspace

We want to encourage people to bring things they've made or are making and tell others how they made them. Initially there are three of us planning to do a show and tell on Tuesday evening but the more the merrier. It would be great if this could become a hackspace tradition. Show and tell may take the form of an interactive demo, a chat explaining the project/idea or maybe a short presentation. If anyone really likes anything they see on show and tell perhaps they can be turned into a workshop? http://wiki.london.hackspace.org.uk/view/Workshops
