The second Panton Discussion was held yesterday on 2010-09-10:12:00 with David Dobbs. David (“writing on science, medicine, culture”, http://daviddobbs.net/ ) is a neuroscientist – though now a journalist – and here’s a recent article http://www.theatlantic.com/magazine/archive/2009/12/the-science-of-success/7761/ with some touching reader feedback. David is writing a piece for Wired (UK) due to come out in January and wanted some background on open Science and also on Mendeley. This gave us a chance to explore some of the issues relating to the philosophy and practice of Open Science.
The discussion was more fluid than PantonDiscussion#1 and I am not sure it’s necessarily useful to transcribe it. Brian Brooks is chopping the MP3 into chunks of a few megabytes each and – assuming there are about 20 – I’ll try to write a small commentary for the most interesting ones.
I’ll try to get this out in the next 24-36 hours. I don’t plan to do any editing, so please let us know what you think.
The next Panton Discussion is with Richard Grant (The Scientist / faculty of 1000) on Monday 2010-09-14
