Please join us online or in person on Thursday, January 17th at 12:00 noon at the Mission Bay Campus of UC San Francisco for a conversation with Jorge Cham, the creator of PhD Comics. PhD Comics’ video, “Open Access Explained!” has been viewed over 120,000 times on YouTube and has sparked the interest of countless students and scholars.
Jorge, who started PhD Comics while completing his PhD at Stanford, will discuss his evolving view of open access, how it changed while making “Open Access Explained!”, and explore lingering questions with Heather Joseph, Executive Director of SPARC, and Jonathan Eisen, an evolutionary biologist at UC Davis and chair of the PLOS Biology Advisory Board.
