SUMMARY:Fringe event: TalkFest - Science and Hobbies
DESCRIPTION:Can (and should) crowdsourced citizen science projects tap
into the enthusiastic occasional workforce of amateurs? Are community
groups based around hobbies (e.g. based around photography, reading or
knitting) a good way to reach 'new audiences', especially for projects
aiming to getting people discussing science in society issues? Should
the science communication work of scientists, especially blogging, be
seen as a hobby or part of their dayjob (or is such a distinction a
silly idea in the first place?). Join our panel for these questions,
ideas, interesting people, cake and debate. Talkfest is free and open
to all, but please do register in advance:

SUMMARY:Panel #2: Incentives - "What's in it for us?"
DESCRIPTION:How can / should we reward best practices and behaviour in
online research and communication? What are the levers to push to
answer the "what’s in it for me" question at the bench and also in the
blogging community? This panel will pull together a diverse array of
opinions from both commercial and non-profit stakeholders, funders and
researchers to look at the social issue surrounding how people behave
and engage in online science environments. Moderated by Cameron
Neylon, STFC, Science in the Open. Panelists: Giles Carden – Director,
Management Information and Planning, University of Warwick; Mari
Williams - Head of Evaluation and Policy Unity, Biotechnology and
Biological Sciences Research Council (BBSRC); Nick Barnes, Climate
Code Foundation; Jeremy Frey - Professor of Physical Chemistry,
University of Southhampton

digital age and how the way we interact with information is
changing. Moderated by Kaitlin Thaney - Digital Science. Panelists:
Tim Hubbard - Wellcome Trust Sanger Institute; Alastair Dant - Lead
Interactive Technologist, The Guardian; Kristi Holmes - VIVO
