Thesis: the resource that all Scientists strive to attain is knowledge. This resource is unlimited. Therefore, it should be possible for us all to be happy and satisfied.

Let’s have an Awesome Time Doing Science: Come along and share your thoughts about how to make the research endeavor as supportive and rewarding as possible.

Next conference may happen some time soon at UC Berkeley.

First talk is now online!

Well, we kind of cheated here, Pete Binfield of PLoS ONE already put up the talk he gave at LHAATDS under his own steam… nice work Pete! Here it is:

Peter Binfield Talk, “Let’s Have an Awesome Time Publishing Science”

Article level metrics are the future! Forrest Gump said, “Science publishing is currently like a box of variable quality chocolates… it would be better to know how good each chocolate is than restricting oneself to the shiniest box.”

Videos of the conference on their way!
