What do fish, robots, aliens and Pokemon have in common? #ubc #vancouver #openscience

Answer: A line up that I’ve set up who will participate in an OPEN SCIENCE roster of UBC speakers.

On thursday afternoon, November 1st, come check out a number of free talks on various nuances around the topic of open science.  I can personally vouch for the awesomeness of all of them, especially Daniel’s, Rosie’s and Jon’s.

Here you’ll get a chance to see: (1) the environmentally critical work of a world class fisheries lab; (2) hear the feisty tale of a professor who confronted NASA on some pretty shoddy science; (3) enjoy the antics of a science literacy advocate whose crowd-sourcing projects could double as a comedic act; (4) and check out a room full of kick ass robots, all prototyped in a special UBC class all about imaginative equipment and robot design.


Here’s the detailed program.  Come to all, or just come to one!

Date/Time – Thursday, November 1st 1-5pm
Place – Irving K. Barber Learning Centre – Lillooet Room, UBC Campus.
Cost - All talks are free and open to everyone at UBC and the public at large.  Registration is not necessary but is appreciated.  You can do this at the follow link (
