#bpstopics you're supposed to be biased! you know better than most people what speakers would make a great symposium
#bpstopics I would love that symposium, you should suggest it!
#bpstopics the 2013 meeting is in Phili, so it'd be close to him
#bpstopics Ant, anything else from your research or interests that you think would be good symposium/workshop?
#bpstopics I meant *** 2013 ***
#bpstopics Hi, This is Steve, I'm here to help with this twitter discussion. Plz ask q's, or discuss your ideas for 2012 meeting symposia

Open Science Friends: my plea for tenure support http://t.co/2z3JAkR
Dear Open Science Friends -- I am going up for tenure this semester at the University of New Mexico, Dept. Physics. External letters are one of the most important components of my dossier. I am thinking that a co-signed letter from friends I've met in the Open Science community would be highly valued by those people evaluating my tenure case.
I am hoping that some of you would be willing to draft and co-sign a letter of support to be sent to my tenure committe--if so, I would be deeply grateful. Based on e-interactions with me, and in-person at ScienceOnline2010/2011 and ScienceCommons 2010 (Seattle), I think maybe some of you would have positive things to say about my research (I consider our lab's work in open notebook science, open data, etc. to be research) and service (promoting open science being external service). - Steve Koch
Thank you everyone! Jonathan Eisen has graciously signed and mailed in a snail mail copy of the open letter to my committee. I don't expect to hear anything about it (positive/negative/neutral) until December, maybe January. I will of course update you with any news. Thank you again, everyone: so much support made me feel great! - Steve Koch
Junior Lab Brainstorming Exercise: Good science - http://stevekochteaching.blogspot.com/2011...
2011 "good science" brainstorming by Junior Lab students - http://openwetware.org/wiki...
Results: Once again, reproducibility was voted to be the most important thing to good science by the students. I tried not to influence the vote, at least consciously, but I'd already talked about good notebooks and open notebook science. Interestingly, students told me that reproducibility has been beaten into their heads by gradeschool and highschool science teachers, which surprised me, pleasantly. Lots of great arguments were made by the students, making me feel very optimistic about this generation of scientists. One student (I think Skylar) made a good argument that "verification by peers" encompassed reproducibility and many of the other nominations. - Steve Koch

2011 NSF CAREER Proposal -- ugh failure(s) -- apologies to open science proponents http://stevekochresearch.blogspot.com/2011...
Bummer, Steve. No apology needed imo -- everyone has a mis-step now and then, especially with deadlines pressing, but few are willing to let the whole world learn from their mistakes in detail. - Bill Hooker
As promised here is the full Project Description, now on SlideShare: http://www.slideshare.net/skoch3... Thank you everyone for the support! - Steve Koch
