Download Audio & Visuals from Kiva and PLoS Net Tuesday Presentations
We recently revamped our Net Tuesday page on the site so that each of
the Net Tuesday locations (SF, Houston, Washington DC--we're still working on Chicago's page) has its own page where they can add content.
On the SF Net Tuesday page you can download PowerPoint presentations given by Kiva and PLoS at previous Net Tuesdays, as well as audio recordings of the presentations, and interviews with the presenters by David Collin.
If you'd like to start a NetSquared Meetup group in your area, download a Net Tuesday toolkit and let us know at net2 AT techsoup DOT org. We're still looking for someone to take over the NetSquared Los Angeles. It already has 49 members who are just waiting for an organizer.
Public Library of Science on the NetSquared Podcast
You can listen to an interview on the NetSquared Podcast by Net Tuesday podcaster, David Collin, with two folks from the Public Library of Science:
Richard Cave, IT Director, and Barbara Cohen, Executive Editor of PLoS Publications & Senior Editor of PLoS Medicine. You can also listen to their presentation and follow along on their PowerPoint by downloading it here. Calling All Geeks: What You Can Do to Support PLoS
Richard Cave and Barbara Cohen from the Public Library of Science gave an awesome presentation at Net Tuesday San Francisco about open access publishing of scientific literature, and the launch of PLoS ONE. PLoS ONE is an international, peer-reviewed, open-access, online publication that features reports of primary research from all disciplines within science and medicine, and allows readers to create annotations and discussions. You can download the PowerPoint of their presentation here.
For more info on PLoS ONE's technical background, click here. I'll let you know when the podcast of their presentation and interview is posted on the NetSquared Podcast.
Cave ended the presentation with a call to action:
• Express support for the Federal Research Public Access Act
• Learn about and contribute your ideas to their work in progress on the PLoS Blog.
• Read about and share new research, sign up for eTOC alerts here.
• Spread the word.
• Surprise them by using their content in ways they could not have imagined
