The final 2 days of the SEED conference were a Think Tank focused on solving problems in science. 6 teams worked on prototyping solutions. 2 projects were selected for incubation in the next months. #SEED2019
Month: February 2019
DJ Bobo
15 years after our first stint in Switzerland and DJ Bobo is still a thing! (His name always cracks me up because “bobo” means something like silly in Portuguese.)
SEED Day 2
Cloudy morning in Davos on my walk in for day 2 of #SEED2019. Looking forward to getting hands on with code today after yesterday’s overview of various problems in science.
Problems in academia
I exited academia over 20 years ago. It was depressing to learn that all of the issues that led me to leave still exist today and may in fact have worsened. But on the bright side, many smart people have ideas for improving collaboration, equity, inclusion, etc. #SEED2019
Better view of Kongresszentrum Davos
Better view of Kongresszentrum Davos I took while getting some fresh air at lunchtime today.
SEED Opening Talk
Great opening “rant” by Dr. Jon Tennant advocating for Open Science (i.e. just good science) at #SEED2019.
SEED Day 1
Good morning from Davos! Discussing the future of research infrastructure in science at #SEED2019.
Kongresszentrum Davos
First time at Kongresszentrum Davos (where annual World Economic Forum is held). Moscone has nothing on this! #SEED2019
In Davos for SEED
Now I’m in Davos excited to spend the next 4 days discussing science and blockchain technology at the Seed conference. https://seed2019.io/
Weisshorn panorama
Panorama from atop the Weisshorn above Arosa. Excellent skiing this morning. I think I’ve finally progressed enough where I can do (some) red runs without freaking out.
