All,

Oxford University have just uploaded a video of the recent public debate about open science.

        Open Science    
          In
 this series of podcasts we consider the impact of opening up science: 
allowing both the research community and the public to freely access the
 results of scientific work. Individuals can be fully informed about 
medical or environmental research, students worldwide can get access to 
the latest work, and software agents can roam the vast scientific 
knowledge base seeking patterns and correlations that no human has 
observed. Ultimately, it may profoundly change the way science is done.
A distinguished group comes together in Oxford's Rhodes House to 
publicly debate 'The Scientific Evolution: Open Science and the Future 
of Publishing'. 

Panelists include Fields Medal winning mathematician 
Tim Gowers, molecular biologist and TV personality Lord Robert Winston, 
and representatives from publishers Nature and Elsevier. Together they 
ask "Is there a better way for scientists to communicate their work?". 
The event was chaired by quantum physicist Dr Simon Benjamin, and 
sponsored by Oxford's Materials Department.
