Not your typical science blog, but an 'open science' research blog. Watch me fumbling my way towards understanding how and why bacteria take up DNA, and getting distracted by other cool questions.
Open access at the American Society for Microbiology annual general meeting
In May I'll be part of a panel discussion on open-access publishing, at the big General Meeting of the American Society for Microbiology. The other participants are 'professional experts': Jon Eisen, Academic Editor in Chief, PLoS; Sam Kaplan, Chair of the ASM Publications Board (ASM publishes about a dozen journals and many books); and Joe Deken of the California Institute for Telecommunications and Information Technology. I guess what I'll bring to the table is the perspective of the ordinary scientist trying to do what's right.
