Award-winning professor Philip Bourne to speak at Camp KDE
Philip Bourne, the 2009 Benjamin Franklin Award-winning computational biologist, will be speaking at Camp KDE 2010.
Professor Bourne is well-known in his field for contributions to open-source bioinformatics software and is a leading advocate of open access to data. Quoting from the UCSD News Center:
Bourne is co-founder of SciVee, the Web 2.0 resource dedicated to the dissemination of scientific research and science-specific research networking. Launched in late 2007 as a collaboration between the National Science Foundation and the San Diego Supercomputer Center (SDSC) at UC San Diego, SciVee has been used by hundreds of thousands of students and professional scientists as a means of learning and sharing their research through online science videos that supplement peer-reviewed journal articles, stimulate discussion, and promote collaboration. SciVee earlier this month announced a number of significant upgrades to its site, along with the addition of 32 new science categories.
Open data access and open source share similar goals, and Professor Bourne's discussion of his experiences with open data access should prove informative and interesting to all.

Now I am jealous! If he does well, he should come to akademy too!
