Open Science advocate, activist, and researcher Dr. Jon Tennant will deliver a luncheon address at the National Federation of Advanced Information Services' (NFAISTM) 61st Annual Conference, February 13 - 15, 2019, at the Hilton Old Town Alexandria Hotel in Virginia.
Dr. Tennant completed his award-winning PhD at Imperial College London, where he researched evolutionary patterns in animals like dinosaurs and crocodiles. He was the Communications Director of ScienceOpen for 2 years, but has spent the last year as an independent researcher. He is the founder of the Open Science MOOC, the digital publishing platform paleorXiv, and currently works as a PLOS Paleo Community Editor. He has spent much of his recent time challenging the business practices of the scholarly publishing industry, including formal complaints to the European Commission, and working with Education International on a global campaign to democratise knowledge.
