5 February Speakers
“Russell J Stanford and the Enshittification of the Creation of Knowledge”
by Anton Angelo
Scholarly communication – the way we tell each other about new knowledge – is very broken, and Russell J Stanford is a big part of the problem. With trust in science at an all time low, we need to cancel Russell, and start a new, more gentle, robust and humane path to improving the way we publish our research.
Anton Angelo is a long time snarky knowledge boffin (read: Librarian) at the University of Canterbury. Rampant ADHD means he hasn’t held a job anywhere for long, and collected far too many degrees, but a career in service helping people access knowledge through the entire protocol stack means he has a ‘certain set of skills’. Currently hyperfocussed on scholarly publication he’s discovered a bit of a scandal, and has a plan for improving the trust and robustness of academic publishing.
