Branching out from my usually book-y corner of the universe, I'm helping organise a new conference to push beyond the bounds of open science. And it just so happens to be in my favourite city in the world!

Super excited for what can happen when we have a framework and space for converging efforts in the open-science space. So much is changing, and fast — excited for the layer of coordination and inspiration that this convergence can bring. Amazing organizations to be partnering with too. :)

Peter Thiel spoke at the RNC in 2016! He lamented the evils of women's suffrage—in writing, in 2009, in a paper in which he also wrote: "I no longer believe that freedom and democracy are compatible." These men (all men) are best understood as the Ayn Rand style 'libertarians' they've always been
