Research Gone Social: Leveraging the Web to Advance Scientific Discovery, Hosted by Mendeley

Event Description:

Think of all of the ways you connect with others and discover new information online. How many of those platforms do you use for research? How do you keep up with the speed and amount of research that’s being created, discovered, and disseminated? How can we apply the implications of today’s open, social, and real-time research to advance scientific discovery?

Bring your thoughts (or let us know #smwresearch) and we will address these questions together.

A panel discussion featuring:

• Chris Wiggins - HackNY co-founder, Associate Professor of Applied Mathematics at Columbia University
   
• Gabriel Willow - Urban ecologist, Science & Learning Specialist at theWildLab
   
• Margaret Smith - Librarian for Physical Sciences at New York University
   
• Jan Reichelt - Mendeley co-founder

Open Q&A will follow.
