[OKFN-EN] Rigour and Openness in 21st Century Science, 11-12 April 2013, Oxford, UK

Thu Apr 4 21:30:01 UTC 2013

Hi All

I've been involved in organising this conference, for which there are still
some last minute spaces left if anyone would like to attend or knows of
someone who might be interested. We are also hosting a free public debate
in the Oxford Union entitled 'Evolution or Revolution in Science
Communication?' to which all are welcome and I would encourage you to
spread the word!

We'll be tweeting at #openoxford and hope to have videos of sessions up on
youtube and iTunesU very shortly after the event so watch out for these if
you can't make it yourself.

Jenny
