I often give talks about the intersection of open source, research, and community-building. I’ve advised governments on data policies, led trainings on open licensing, and given workshops and keynotes on innovation, collaboration and the web to universities, scholarly societies, librarians, doctors, federal agencies (including the CIA), and at software conferences.
I also routinely speak at conferences and on panels about various topics in open science, data sharing, and open source. Below is a selection of recent talks I’ve given, press clippings and publications. If you’d like to have me speak or run a workshop, please contact me.
