An article about the Open Science movement written by Daniel Barron, MD, PhD, third-year resident in the Yale Department of Psychiatry, and published online in 2018 by Scientific American landed Barron a speaker’s role at a national conference in Virginia.
Barron spoke Feb. 15 at the National Federation of Advanced Information Services 61st annual conference in Alexandra, Va. The title of his talk was “Democratizing Data – Whose Decision Is It?” Below is a description:
“As we continue to democratize research, data will play a more significant role, from personal information that we garner and their output, to the end-users who make use of it – but just what this means in terms of policies remains unclear as do the implications. Dr. Barron shares the challenges we must address, including what researchers want, how others use it, and what the implications may be as the result.”
Barron was also interviewed for a podcast by Orion Open Science, which is exploring ways in which research and funding organizations in life sciences and biomedicine can open up the way they fund, organize, and do research. Below is a description of Barron’s podcast:
“In this episode we are discussing data sharing and who owns research data. Our interview guest will be Dr. Daniel Barron from Yale University, who wrote an article on these issues in Scientific American. We will cover the issue of what the priorities for research data are, the Jack Gallant controversy, and should Open Science principles be enforced?”
