Michael B. Eisen: Reinventing Scientific Communication
Wednesday, Mar 27 5:30p
to
7:30p
Commonwealth Club
San Francisco,
CA
The scientific literature is one of humanity’s greatest creations. While most of this corpus is now online, it remains as inaccessible to the public as it was centuries ago – with the physical limitations of print journals replaced by expensive publisher pay walls. Eisen, a leader in the movement to reinvent scientific communication, will discuss the origins of this absurd system, why it still exists, how the “open access” movement he helped to launch is finally bringing it to an end.
