The Medical Publishing Revolution
Okay, we have everyone now. Folks should get settled now because we have a
packed schedule. Okay, some people might be trinkling in as the day goes on,
and we have enough people to start. We have a lot of interesting presentations.
We have a microphone here on the left side of the room, and you can come up for
the QA sessions. The bathrooms are a bit of a treck, down that way to the main
building. There's coffee in the back for the caffeine addicts. We have 5
minutes until we get under way. I just want to thank everyone for coming uot on
an early Friday morning, slightly under false pretenses. We call it open
science, but it's also called startup science. It's to convey the economic
value and opportunities that are part of this possibility of embracing this
radically new paradigm for value creation and applying that to science. We've
seen this transpire over the past 15 years with the web, and it's only recently
that it's finally starting to bring that same transparency and distributed
innovation to bare to disrupt these ancient institutions science that we have
been stuck with for the past 400 years and all the folks presenting today are
part of that transition. I got to talking with some of the different
entrepreneurs and we want to come up with something, build a support network,
we have angellist kind of for the startup world, startupdigest, what would it
look like for an infrastructure for supporting hard science and engineering
startups? There are many things going against this, there are disadvantages to
hire engineering talent compared to the rest of the social media titans who are
sucking up programmers, you got investors that don't understand what's going on
in science and how there is a value proposition here, there's a lot of outreach
and education that has to happen for bioecosystem that we've seen in other
sectors. Clean tech was an attempt to establish this and get investors excited
and showcase entrepreneurs, I think we have this similar chance here, the plan
is to have a series of these events, there will be opportunity to have
hackathons associated with this for particular problems that the members would
like to incentivize. I think it really is up to us what we make of it, we hope
that you all get involved as mentors in some capacity and we'll take it from
there. We'll start with Dr. Addler.
