The INSPIRING STEM Podcast
Scientific and academic scholarly publishing is a dynamic and rapidly changing ecosystem with data and knowledge at its centre. The fundamental change is in adopting open science, the practice of freely sharing scientific knowledge in a way that allows others to collaborate and build upon that knowledge to accelerate research applications. The INSPIRING STEM Podcast will interview key opinion leaders and organisations working to advance, and quite often, to disrupt the status quo. (Photo: Photo by Jonathan Velasquez on Unsplash)

•
Hosted by Martin Delahunty
The guest for this week’s INSPIRING STEM PODCAST episode is Andrew Preston, an economist and physicist by training, who worked as a researcher and consulted as a software engineer before co-founding Publons. He recently co-founded Cassyni an innovative new online tool which aims to help academics run and keep track of research seminars worldwide.
We discuss his background in academic research and his journey from New Zealand to London that led to designing software tools to alleviate pain points in scientific researcher workflows.
