ORION Open Science Podcast
Open Science and the future of science
The format of the podcast is a series of interviews with guests about various topics, these have included; Marc Abrahams (IgNobel Prize) discussing the importance of humour in science communication, a ‘live’ report on a Wikipedia Edit-a-thon event to improve diversity in science, an interview with the Head of Vitae, a non-profit-program dedicated to supporting the professional development of researchers, about research career pathways, and a variety of conversations about the problems with scientific publishing, and the possibilities of data and software sharing. These interviews are a great way to understand not only what Open Science is, but also how it actually impacts the day to day work of scientists.
