The Importance of OA for Early Career Researchers

October 26, 10:00am - 11:00am
Mānoa Campus, Kuykendall Hall, Room 106 Add to Calendar

Robert Davey, a researcher at the Earlham Institute, and Elizabeth Seiver, host of #PLOScast and researcher at Public Library of Science (PLOS), will join us for a discussion on how they became involved in the open access movement, and why it's important to their work as early career researchers.

Robert Davey started his career with an undergraduate degree in microbiology, completed his PhD in computer science in 2005, and is now leading software development projects in the biological sciences, with a complete focus on open source software and data. Only good things happen when openness is the driver! He is also a bona fide coffee fanatic.

Elizabeth Seiver completed her PhD in psychology in 2013 at UC Berkeley. At PLOS, she studies science and science publishing itself, from the efficacy of open peer review to cultural differences between research disciplines. She also hosts PLOScast, a podcast dedicated to interviews with thought leaders on the future of academia and the changing experiences of scientists.
